Christina Mata I won’t buy cashews because the workers who process them suffer horrible burns from the fluid between the outer casing and the nut, they get payed so little and most have never eaten a cashew themselves as they are so expensive.
I would love to see her take on that too, but Sam from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken has a yummy vegan cottage cheese recipe! itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/quick-easy-vegan-cottage-cheese/
Girl I have a vegan ricotta I make w tofu that even my Nebraska beef rancher mother in law said "isn't actually that bad" lol. I use it in lasagna all the time!!! I'm not even vegan it's just yummier than ricotta.
Thanks for sharing some pretty inexpensive and easy vegan cheese recipes. It's so hard to find recipes that don't include cashews (so expensive!) or agar (can be hard to come by).
I was just talking to an omni friend today and we were discussing non-nut cheese options (because she has a nut allergy) that actually taste good and do not include mashed potatoes for her to try. This is awesome! I will definitely be checking this out. Thank you! ❣
Yes!!! These are the kind of recipes I'm looking for! My family was vegan for 6 years but got away from it through some hard times. We're ready to take the plunge back to it for health etc but I've forgotten EVERYTHING. This is so helpful. Simple recipes simple ingredients and it looks like the real thing. Thank you thank you!
Yum I want to make all of these! I love how far vegan cheese has come! Growing up with a French grandmother cheese was also it’s own food group for us, lol! Now being vegan I get so excited for anything “cheese” related! 🌱
I can’t thank you enough! I can’t eat cashews, and I didn’t know what to do. I’m new to nondairy and just felt lost. Knowing that I can make it from tofu is great. Thank you so much for the recipes.
WOW these are so easy! Can't wait to try the Feta and Mozza. I also appreciate the tofu because it is wayyy cheaper than nuts. Lovin your pin-up girl look here and your nail polish!
I can’t thank you enough! I can’t eat cashews, and I didn’t know what to do. I’m new to nondairy and just felt lost. Knowing that I can make it from tofu is great. Thank you so much for the recipes. I will subscribe
I'm most excited to try the feta; Violife's is identical, IMO, to a young Cretan feta made in a monastery that I tried many years ago, but I do miss the texture of the zesty, crumbly kind that is more common. These all look delicious and easy to make; TFP!
That nacho cheese recipe is slammin! It's kinda weird eating chips and dip and also knowing that it's healthy. I was wondering if anyone knows about fermenting it after fixing it up to make it a lil funky
You are right! Nuts are expensive!! And in the little town I live in they are nearly impossible to find them in large quantities. I only make the nacho cheese with the pot & carrot. So I love these alternatives!! Thank you so much!!!!! PS: we now have the JUST Egg!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
If you put that mozzarella into a piece of plastic wrap, you can hold both ends and twist until it forms a ball, then drop into ice water for a minute until cooled and remove the plastic wrap.
Just came across your video while looking for a non-dairy replacement for feta cheese. Have to say your production value is amazing! You earned my sub :)
I am allergic to multiple nuts. I have made several vegan cheese recipes and didn't like any of them because it didn't seem like any tasted like cheese. I also tried a vegan cheese without nuts and hated it so much I threw it out.. I finally added tofu into my cooking arena so when I searched and found your video, it gave me new hope today. Thanks.
I keep coming back to these recipes over and over because they are so good, and I always seem to have tofu on hand. These are also great for people that don’t have high speed blenders, because all the ingredients are soft! Thanks!
The thing that is great about your recipes is that they are not only cheaper and might taste better, but they are actually providing some nutritional benefits too. Many of the vegan cheeses not only taste bad, but they provide no nutritional benefits. Even normal pizza provides some nutritional benefits (not healthy by any means, but it has vitamins, minerals, protein etc...). Don't get me wrong I love food that tastes great, but I like to at least get something out of it even if it's not "healthy".
labella42071 I actually had to go in my kitchen and make it to take measurements. 😀 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 1/2 cup liquid of your choice. 1 tsp cornstarch or about 1/4 cup flour I didn’t use oil this time. I guess it isn’t necessary, came out the same. A drop of yellow mustard. Literal drop. Seasoning of your choice I like Williams chili seasoning. I use a teaspoon. Whir the whole situation in a blender or whisk out all the lumps. Cook on medium heat until thickened
Just tried out the mozzarella! Wish I had put it directly onto a pizza because it does not want to melt again. I did use potato starch (only thing at the store I went to) very fun to make!
I loved this video! I will definitely try the nacho cheese for sure! Even when I was vegetarian I had a hard time finding it appetizing but I am ready to give it another try... especially because I loooove tofu!!
I really appreciate this because I'm trying to stay on the no oil vegan path. All processed cheese have oil that I can see. I'm leaning to make my own sour cream and ranch dressing. I enjoy that they are less processed and less expensive. These are the 3 cheeses I would use the most. Thanks again!
Only my second video watching you and you've got me for life. I am 59 and trying to turn veg/vegan. You have soooooo much energy exuding from you and that makes me WANT to try all these recipes. You are extremely funny and entertaining. You don't have to be boring to be a veg/vegan. I think I've seen the light. Thanks, Frank. P.S. Did I miss where the recipe is for the nacho cheese? Can you use that for a mac and cheese? Can you use regular tofu or does it have to be silken?
Dear Edgy, I'm working on cheddar. Getting close! It's a mash-up of your feta recipe, Chef Jana's, and Sauce Stache. Details to follow. I want it cheddar-y and melty but doesn't have to be stretchy.
Your videos along with several other CZcamsrs have helped me transition to this lifestyle. It’s been great so far. I feel great and others have noticed a difference. And you probably get this all the time, but you remind me of Zooey. Lol
This is the first time in ever, that I actually want to try and make vegan cheese. Great recipes and so simple too! Also, your lip color is gorgeous! Can you share the brand/shade?
I love this idea!! I definitely like the way cashews work but I quickly realized I have some sort of allergy or reaction to it so I skip it completely so I am very grateful for these options.
Have you made a vegan Reuben sandwich yet?? I just bought some pumpernickel bread and I was instantly reminded of Arbys Reuben sandwich that I miss SOOO much! So I’d be really great to have one veganized!
Thank you for showing you can do this with plain ol' Tapioca starch. I've had such a time looking for agar agar and finally gave up when Amazon wants 12 bucks for a small bag. I'll just do your recipe instead
I don:t like the taste of dairy cheeses, but I tried the tofu nacho dip, needed more spiciness so I added curry powder and miso. Without the spices, it didn't really need to be cooked.
Well i am going to try all of these. I make pizza every week so he to see the motzerella. I did not think i would ever taste feta again. Thanks. The best thing about using tofu is the high protein content. I make maynaise with tofu. The dressing of my salad is the protein content. Awesome
I watched this video when it came out, but only just now got around to trying the cheese sauce. It’s delicious! It’s the only one I’ve found that tastes good room temperature, or cold. I suppose I’ll have to try the other two as well.
Just tried the mozzarella - and put it on pasta and veggies for a bake. It was very good - but kinda like an Alfredo - more than a mozzarella. Still - damn good - and creamy, dawgs!
Tofu is really cheaper and it works just as well. I tried the nacho cheese with both tofu and cashew nuts. No substantial differences. The only downside is this cheese doesn’t taste nice after a day so it’s best to make just the amount you can consume within the day.
Hi Candice, I loved your vlog n hope I can make th cheeses. I wish I could have vegan paneer cheese, with a lovely curry. This is a game changer for th vegan movement. Thankyou for your activism with making vegan food. Love n light gaynor fairy xxx
Totally irrelevant comment but you’re so pretty! I love your style! Thanks for the recipes! I shall try even though my blender isn’t high speed or power.
Love your vid's!! I am excited to try all of these because I love all of those cheeses and would love to make a nice veggie pizza with some of the moz, and feta, love, love, love feta, and the nacho cheese, well it just is a must have especially with, well, chips! I did see a video on how to make a camembert vegan cheese and it was quite a process. It was made from nuts, but if you love camembert and crackers like I do (can you say..addicted??) it might be worth the effort. Do you think there is a way to make a camembert style cheese from tofu? Thank you, love your videos and recipes, you are fun to watch and learn from! 👍😉
I've tried a couple of cashew mozzarella recipies and they've all had an odd taste, almost sweet. I can't put my finger on what i don't like in those recipies but I'm excited to try the tofu version.
Who knew saying nacho was so difficult?! If you could make any cheese in the world vegan, what would it be?!!
Edgy Veg Pepper jack!
Blue cheese!
A real strong cheddar. I’m in England. Totally family of vegans. Nah. No substitute yet 🤣🤣🤣
Havarti or Gruyere
Edgy Veg all cheeses because i love the stuff & the stinkier the better.
Cashews are definitely expensive. Easy to turn into stuff, but it gets pricey. I'm excited to try these cheeses.
Christina Mata I won’t buy cashews because the workers who process them suffer horrible burns from the fluid between the outer casing and the nut, they get payed so little and most have never eaten a cashew themselves as they are so expensive.
I buy them in bulk 10# bags and that cuts the price in half.
Different ways to make vegan caramel! With & without dates, for caramel dip & apples!
Amanda Baggs this!!!!!
Yes! Caramel apples for fall!
YES YES YES YASSSSSS!
Why no dates?
This is my recipe and it’s super good: 1/4 Cup - Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup - Maple Syrup
3 TBS - Cookie Butter
1 TBS - Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Sea Salt
I am truly craving a VEGAN cottage cheese. I can't wait to do your vegan queso/nacho dip
Yes to this!
Just crumble some firm tofu into a thick/creamy vegan yoghurt and you're done! Preferably fermented tofu (feto) but regular will work as well.
Me toooooooo
I would love to see her take on that too, but Sam from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken has a yummy vegan cottage cheese recipe! itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/quick-easy-vegan-cottage-cheese/
I love that you say “we”! It’s encouraging us to cook with you. ☺️♥️
It's nice to see you so free and just your true self. A real edgy vegan.
Awe thank you , love
Girl I have a vegan ricotta I make w tofu that even my Nebraska beef rancher mother in law said "isn't actually that bad" lol. I use it in lasagna all the time!!! I'm not even vegan it's just yummier than ricotta.
Csawmcgraw same here! It fools me everytime. I eat it guilt free too...so healthy!
what recipe do you use???
Spill the recipe!!!!
I'm just relpying so i get the recipe when you share it
recipe please?
Thanks for sharing some pretty inexpensive and easy vegan cheese recipes. It's so hard to find recipes that don't include cashews (so expensive!) or agar (can be hard to come by).
LolloRosso I got some organic Japanese tofu from Aldi yesterday.
I was just talking to an omni friend today and we were discussing non-nut cheese options (because she has a nut allergy) that actually taste good and do not include mashed potatoes for her to try. This is awesome! I will definitely be checking this out. Thank you! ❣
We made one with butter beans!
If you live near Trader Joe’s, grab a tub of Bruschetta and package of their cooked lentils, mix with this feta, it is 👌
You can use an ice cream scoop to form mozzarella balls 😊
Great suggestion!
Yes!!! These are the kind of recipes I'm looking for! My family was vegan for 6 years but got away from it through some hard times. We're ready to take the plunge back to it for health etc but I've forgotten EVERYTHING. This is so helpful. Simple recipes simple ingredients and it looks like the real thing. Thank you thank you!
Thanks, this is a very good alternative not only to regular cheeses but also for cashew cheeses, which is sooo expensive
Yum I want to make all of these! I love how far vegan cheese has come! Growing up with a French grandmother cheese was also it’s own food group for us, lol! Now being vegan I get so excited for anything “cheese” related! 🌱
me too!
Jill Schwartz You would probably love ConniesRawsomeKitchen. She’s made vegan brie, havarti, aged parmesan, blue, mozzarella etc.
JE Hoyes awesome! I will check her out, thank you!!!!
Jill Schwartz She’s the Cheese Whizz!
JE Hoyes WOW her cheeses look amazing! Definitely going to have to try and recreate!!
I can’t thank you enough! I can’t eat cashews, and I didn’t know what to do. I’m new to nondairy and just felt lost. Knowing that I can make it from tofu is great. Thank you so much for the recipes.
WOW these are so easy! Can't wait to try the Feta and Mozza. I also appreciate the tofu because it is wayyy cheaper than nuts. Lovin your pin-up girl look here and your nail polish!

As a mom of kids with nut allergies this video made me very happy. I cant wait to make the mozza and nacho cheese. Thanks for the inspiration.
That shirt! 🥰 These recipes look wonderful! I love homemade vegan cheese. Cruelty free and delicious!!
Made the vegan mozzarella and used cornstarch instead of tapioca starch, it turned out really good! Used it in lasagna ^-^
I'm most excited to try the feta; Violife's is identical, IMO, to a young Cretan feta made in a monastery that I tried many years ago, but I do miss the texture of the zesty, crumbly kind that is more common. These all look delicious and easy to make; TFP!
So happy to see this video! As a nut free vegan it is usually really hard to find cheeses I can actually eat. Thank you for posting! ❤️
I was pissed off at my local supermarkets when I got here. Your easy breezy style calmed me down. Thank you!
What a sweet comment, thank you!
That nacho cheese recipe is slammin! It's kinda weird eating chips and dip and also knowing that it's healthy. I was wondering if anyone knows about fermenting it after fixing it up to make it a lil funky
What about a vegan pumpkin cheesecake. Or vegan monster cookies?❤️
You are right! Nuts are expensive!! And in the little town I live in they are nearly impossible to find them in large quantities. I only make the nacho cheese with the pot & carrot. So I love these alternatives!! Thank you so much!!!!! PS: we now have the JUST Egg!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I loved your vibe) also I'll try your mozzarella vegan receipt
Dark side of the spoon
HAHAHAHAH

Don't get me wrong I love food that tastes great, but I like to at least get something out of it even if it's not "healthy".
An easy nacho cheese is just nutritional yeast, water, oil, cornstarch or flour , and chili seasoning.
Measurements please?!?!?!?!
labella42071 I actually had to go in my kitchen and make it to take measurements. 😀
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup liquid of your choice.
1 tsp cornstarch or about 1/4 cup flour
I didn’t use oil this time. I guess it isn’t necessary, came out the same.
A drop of yellow mustard. Literal drop.
Seasoning of your choice I like Williams chili seasoning. I use a teaspoon.
Whir the whole situation in a blender or whisk out all the lumps. Cook on medium heat until thickened
Oonagh72 you are amazing! Thank you so much. I’m gonna give it a try ASAP 😃😃😃
Put some boiled potatoes to it and fresh chili!
True Fruits did the boiled potatoes once and it tasted like cheesy potato soup! 🤪. Fresh chili’s sound like a real winner!! Thanks for the tip!
Just tried out the mozzarella! Wish I had put it directly onto a pizza because it does not want to melt again. I did use potato starch (only thing at the store I went to) very fun to make!
I’d love to see more variations of vegan cheese!
Everyone let’s just give it up for tofu👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved this video! I will definitely try the nacho cheese for sure! Even when I was vegetarian I had a hard time finding it appetizing but I am ready to give it another try... especially because I loooove tofu!!

Also, with the fresh jalapenos, if you remove the "ribs" and seeds, it is less hot.

This is wonderful, thank you so much x
You are so welcome!
I love this - I recently moved to a more rural area so I definitely don't have access to as many options at my local grocery store. Thanks!
Your videos along with several other CZcamsrs have helped me transition to this lifestyle. It’s been great so far. I feel great and others have noticed a difference. And you probably get this all the time, but you remind me of Zooey. Lol

It’s Kat von D! Lolita! My favourite colour
As someone who isn’t vegan but trying to cut as much as I can that nacho cheese looks legit
I made this feta and its AMAZING!! rly rly close to "real" feta, from what i can remember.
thanks!
1:28 nacho
3:58 feta
5:00 mozzarella
Will be trying them all. Thanks.
I love this idea!! I definitely like the way cashews work but I quickly realized I have some sort of allergy or reaction to it so I skip it completely so I am very grateful for these options.
Glad I could help! I think you'll find that they can make an easy substitution

Delish! Thanks Candice! I would really like to try the feta cheese! ❤️Kathy
It' sooo easy to whip up!
Omg thank you so much!! This is a great recipe I can use with my tofu!! I will try to use some of this on my channel with recipes
Please always credit :)
Yes of course I will definitely mention I got the recipes from you!! 😁😁
I don:t like the taste of dairy cheeses, but I tried the tofu nacho dip, needed more spiciness so I added curry powder and miso. Without the spices, it didn't really need to be cooked.
Great ideas! Going to try feta first.
I love that feta recipe!
Well i am going to try all of these. I make pizza every week so he to see the motzerella. I did not think i would ever taste feta again. Thanks. The best thing about using tofu is the high protein content. I make maynaise with tofu. The dressing of my salad is the protein content. Awesome
