This recipe is perfection. I had my doubts as I’ve tried other V cheese recipes and they were just okay. I tasted it then couldn’t stop “tasting” it, it was so good. My family tried it and thought I went back to eating cheese. I used 2 garlic cloves, otherwise made as written using a food processor. Thank you for this amazing recipe of pure deliciousness!

I'm really wanting to try this, however the raw cashews available to me are chopped. I'm thinking the measurement will be off by not using whole cashews as you have done. Any chance I could get a weight (grams or oz) per cup of the whole ones, please?
Thank you!

I was skeptical, but I made this with almonds. My mind is blown. I used this in a veggie calzone filling, and I missed nothing about dairy ricotta. This one’s a keeper, for sure. Can’t wait to try it in other applications, like pasta or dessert.
