Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Setting time: 4 hours (or overnight)

Ingredients (serves 15)

• 1 cup (150g) almonds, blanched
• 1 cup (240ml) water
• 1 cup (160g) potato starch
• 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• Juice of one lemon
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until completely smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a Pyrex dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
3. Cover with a lid or aluminium foil and steam the mixture for 45 minutes. If you don't have a steamer, use a strainer over a pot with boiling water and cover everything.
4. Once steamed, let the disk cool down and then transfer it to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
5. Remove from the fridge and gently take the parmesan out of the pyrex dish. Cut itinto wedges, and enjoy your homemade Vegan Parmesan Cheese made from almonds!

This vegan parmesan cheese is a game-changer for all your favourite dishes. Sprinkle it over your favourite pasta for a delightful, cheesy boost, or add a touch to your salads for a tangy, nutty kick. You can even enjoy a wedge on its own or paired with crackers for a tasty snack.
