Equipment

  • *high speed blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cup walnuts soaked in hot water for 4 hours
  • 1/4 cup unflavored/unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to your high-speed blender. Start the blender on low and gradually turn up the speed until you're on the highest setting. Blend the mixture until *smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the blender frequently to bring the cheez mixture back to the blades.
  • Transfer cheez into a container and chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Spread onto gluten-free crackers or bread and top with Sweet Fig Relish (recipe follows).

Notes

Because this recipe does not contain a lot of liquid, reaching a smooth texture will take longer than when making a cheese-like sauce. Be sure to scrape the sides frequently, and stir in any of the cheez stuck below the blades.
