Vegan Cotija Cheese

almonds

white vinegar (0.01)

yeast (0.12)

salt (0.02)

agar powder (0.10)

water (0.00)

refined coconut oil (0.42)

To begin, soak the almonds in room temperature water for about 10-12 hours, or overnight.

Place the almonds in a high-speed blender or food processor with vinegar, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend until no large chunks remain, scraping down the sides throughout. Set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium-low, bring the agar and water mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until it appears thickened.

Add the agar mixture to your blender, then the coconut oil. Blend everything together for another 1-2 minutes, or until the texture is similar to ricotta. Taste and adjust salt as needed (cotija cheese is traditionally quite salty).

Transfer everything to a cheesecloth (or nut milk bag) over a bowl or plate. Bring the edges of the cheesecloth in and twist together to remove any excess liquid.

Transfer to your fridge and let the cheese set in the cloth for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. Serve over all your favorite meals like tacos, chilaquiles, and more. Happy eating!
