Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cup raw, unsalted cashews
- 6 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Himalayansalt, or smoked salt
Instructions
- Place the ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Pulse the blender 8-10 times. Check the consistency. Pulse again if needed. You are looking for the texture of corn meal. If you over blend it, you will end up with garlic cashew butter. Not a bad result, but not what you may want in this situation.
- Store in a covered jar on your pantry shelf. Use on vegetables, in casseroles, or as a topping for popcorn. Let your imagination go wild!
Notes
If you like, pop up some popcorn. Shake the cheese on top of plain or lightly buttered popcorn.
