Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon White miso paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Kappa carrageenan
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 30 minutes to soften them, then drain and rinse thoroughly.

Step 2

Add the soaked cashews to a high-speed blender along with the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, white miso paste, and salt.

Step 3

Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as necessary.

Step 4

Transfer the cashew mixture to a small saucepan and place over low heat.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk the kappa carrageenan with the water until dissolved. Pour the mixture into the saucepan with the cashew mixture.

Step 6

Cook the blended mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to form a stretchable, gooey cheesy consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Quickly transfer the mixture into a round mold, ramekin, or bowl lined with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 8

Smooth out the top with a spatula and let the cheese set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 9

Once hardened, gently remove the vegan brie from the mold. Serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.
