Ingredients:
- 600 g potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 6 tbsp tapioca flour
- 2 tsp Himalayan salt
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 5 dried black olives (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp fried onions
Preparation:
Chop the potatoes and carrot into small pieces and boil them until soft. Drain the water and mash them into a smooth mixture.
Add the remaining ingredients: water, olive oil, lemon juice, cornstarch, tapioca flour, salt, nutritional yeast, chopped olives, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and fried onions. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the mixture while stirring constantly for about 12–15 minutes. It will thicken and become more compact as it cooks.
Grease a glass mold or container, pour in the mixture, and spread it evenly.
Let the cheese cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until fully set.
The cheese is now ready to use! Slice it, grate it, or incorporate it into various dishes.
Enjoy your homemade vegan smoked cheese—perfect for slicing, grating, or adding to your favorite dishes!
Extra Melting Tip: If you’re aiming for a gooey, melty texture (perfect for pizzas or grilled cheese), try gently reheating slices of your vegan cheese in a non-stick pan over low heat. For an even smoother melt, add a splash of your favorite plant-based milk and cover the pan for a few minutes. This gentle steaming will help the cheese become extra melty without drying out. Enjoy your melted masterpiece!
