Ingredients
  • ½ head of cauliflower
  • 1 c. reserved water from steaming cauliflower
  • ½ T. bacon fat or safe Vegan fat
  • 1.5 T. agar flakes
  • ½ tsp. white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 T. tapioca starch
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 T. nutritional yeast
Instructions
  1. Cut the cauliflower into chunks and place in a steamer basket.
  2. Add 1.5 cups of water to a pan and place the steamer basket in the pan.
  3. Steam the cauliflower until tender.
  4. While the cauliflower is steaming, gather the rest of the ingredients and line a glass bowl with parchment paper (or oil it well).
  5. Once the cauliflower has steamed, reserve 1 c. of the steamer water and use it to purée the cauliflower.
  6. Add the fat to the cauliflower purée and incorporate fully.
  7. Measure 2 c. of cauliflower purée and put in a pan. Bring to a gentle boil.
  8. Add the vinegar, sea salt and agar flakes and begin whisking.
  9. Whisk and gently boil the mixture for 15 minutes until thickened.
  10. Add the paprika, tapioca starch, and nutritional yeast one at a time, incorporating each ingredient fully.
  11. Whisk constantly for 5-10 more minutes, until the mixture thickens even more.
  12. Pour the mixture into the lined (or oiled) glass bowl.
  13. Let sit for two hours to cool and firm.
  14. At that point, it is a spreadable, soft cheese that may be used. If you prefer a harder cheese, it can be placed in the fridge for easier slicing and grating.
  15. Enjoy your fructose and dairy safe cheese!
