How To Make Vegan Swiss Cheese | Vegan Swiss Cheese Recipe By Classic Bakes

cashews

🥗Healthier: soaked sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: tofu

Sunflower seeds are lower in calories and provide a nut-free option.

nutritional yeast

🥗Healthier: brewer's yeast

💰Cheaper: yeast flakes

Brewer's yeast is often less expensive and still provides a cheesy flavor.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil can be more affordable while still providing fat for texture.

agar-agar

🥗Healthier: carrageenan

💰Cheaper: gelatin

Gelatin can be a cost-effective thickening agent for those not strictly vegan.

Spray a 4x4-inch deep square pan lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange 4-5 chopsticks or straws in the pan at different angles to create the holes in the cheese.

To a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, water, nutritional yeast, white miso paste, agar-agar, apple cider vinegar, tahini, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and tapioca starch. Whisk to combine.

Place the Swiss cheese mixture over a medium-high flame.

Whisk constantly until the Swiss cheese mixture starts to boil. Decrease the heat to medium-low, and cook it for 6 minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour the Swiss cheese mixture into the mold and let cool uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Place the Swiss cheese in the fridge uncovered and sit for 3-6 hours until it is set and slightly dried out.

Remove the chopsticks or straws from the Swiss cheese before slicing with a cheese slicer and serving.
