Vegan mozzarella | How to make the best vegan mozzarella recipe

I decided to use cashews as a base for this homemade vegan mozzarella recipe, because cashew milk has the “milkiest” taste, in my opinion. The result was beyond my expectations. This is the perfect vegan pizza cheese ever! Depending on how you shape it, it can also be named vegan burrata or vegan bocconcini.

If you have a high power blender, this cashew mozzarella cheese will be extra-smooth. I didn’t have a very good blender when I made this, so you may see a bit of “graininess” in the photos. Well, that didn’t bother me at all, but I’m sure it would have been even better if I could pulverize the ingredients with the help of a good blender.

The first thing I wanted to make with this meltyvegan mozzarella cheese was agrilled cheesesandwich. It’s the simple things you miss… 🙂 IT WAS SO GOOD. As you can see from the picture above…it really melts and it’s gooey, stretchy…PERFECT!

I also made some vegan mozzarella balls and stored them in the fridge for later. You can then slice them and use them in salads, pizzas or sandwiches. This is a vegan cheese recipe that melts, so it will melt again in contact with heat. 🙂

I created two vegan mozzarella cheese recipes with different quantities and different textures, but the same taste. I did this because I kept receiving questions from my readers about how to make a stretchy cheese sauce, so I wanted to create a perfect melty cheese sauceand also shape these dairy-free mozzarella balls so you can store them in the fridge for later. If you want to create a cheesy sauce, you will need fewer ingredients, so it will be even cheaper to make. Of course, you can turn mozzarella balls back into a cheesy sauce again, but I thought separating the recipes would be better from an economic point of view.

I can’t wait to try some othervegan cheese recipes, such asvegan parmesanandvegan ricotta! 🙂
