Coconut cheese that you can slice with a creamy texture and will melt like dairy cheese. Great flavor and can be made in two kinds for different dishes or tastes.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 2 hours hrs 20 minutes mins
- 2 cans coconut milk full fat. I used an Native Forest, organic milk
- 3 Tbs. Agar Flakes
- 1 Tbs. coconut vinegar
- 2 tsp. ground pink himalayan salt
- 1 tsp. Vitamin-C Crystals Found in the supplement section of health food store.
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 4 Tbs. tapioca starch
- 1 tsp smoked paprika Optional- I make one kind using smoked paprika and the other batch without.
In a medium/large pot, bring the canned coconut milk to a boil.
Add in coconut vinegar, agar flakes, and salt. Boil on medium/low for 15 minutes. ** CAUTION- watch your pot, if heat is too high, milk with boil over. ** Stir continuously with whisk.
Take mixture off heat and add Vitamin C crystals, nutritional yeast, mix well.
** This is where you will add the paprika if you choose to use this seasoning. **
Place 4 Tbs of tapioca starch in a small bowl and add a tiny bit of water to turn powder into a liquid and then add to the mixture.
** This will help avoid clumping. **
Remove from pot and pour mixture into a container lined with parchment paper.
** This will prevent sticking to the sides and easier to cut out.**
Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. I usually leave mine to sit overnight.
