• NOTES:

-Nutritional yeast helps to give that cheesy flavor, so taste your mixture and add or subtract according to your liking.
​
-Agar Agar is your vegan version of a type of gelatin, from a type of algae.  thickens quite easily, so be careful not to leave it too long before combining with the rest of the mixture. If you have Agar Agar flakes or strips you may grind in high speed blender to bring to as fine a powder as possible.
- Adjust recipe according to your taste and preference in cheese (salty, tangy etc content). (Some add liquid smoke for smokey cheese flavor).

-This cheese slices easily and can be enjoyed on crackers, with your bread or even grated for use on your vegan pizza. It must be kept in the fridge. Enjoy for good health with no cholesterol and the other damaging effects of dairy. May God bless you to choose veganism by Faith for His glory. 1 Corinthians 10:31.
