Prepare the molds you will be using (you can use anything, cups, glasses, silicone molds, muffin pans) by brushing the inside lightly with a little oil and splashing water around the mold and then draining any excess water and oil. If making a "log" in a cylindrical glass, I recommend lining the sides with a piece of baking paper to make removal easier.

This vegan goat cheese recipe is made in your food processor and tastes as legit as the real thing! It’s the best substitute for soft goat cheese in all your favorite vegan recipes. Similar to our vegan feta cheese recipe, this dairy free goat’s cheese uses extra firm tofu and refined coconut oil for the smooth and creamy base that’s also somehow crumbly.

Dairy Free Goat Cheese

16-oz block extra firm tofu

refined coconut oil

Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Tbsp mellow white miso paste

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

tsp sea salt

tsp black pepper

plain unsweetened non-dairy milk

BLEND: Add all ingredients to your food processor and process starting on a low speed and slowly increasing to high. Blend on high for about 4-5 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed. The mixture will get really smooth and shiny towards the end which is exactly what we want! If it’s not shiny yet, keep blending.

SET: If you just want to use this cheese as a spread, transfer the mixture to a large airtight container. If you want a cheese that holds its shape on a platter or can be molded into a log, transfer the mixture to a silicone mold or plastic-lined airtight container. Cover and place it in the fridge for at least 3-5 hours to fully set.  If you’re shaping the vegan goat cheese, I would let it set in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours.

SHAPING (optional): To make this vegan goat cheese substitute look as legit as possible, you can also mold it into those classic goat cheese logs once it’s set. Just pop the cheese out of the silicone mold or lift it out of the plastic-lined container. Then, use your hands to form the mixture into 2-4 tubes. Wrap these tubes in plastic and place them back in the fridge for at least another 60-90 minutes before serving. 

SERVE: When you&#x27;re ready and the tofu cheese has firmed up, remove it from the fridge and unwrap it or pull it out of the silicone mold as needed. Serve as a spread with a cheese knife onto crostini, crackers, bread, cucumbers, or all your favorite veggies. Use it to veganize all your favorite recipes that call for soft goat cheese!

STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. You can also freeze leftover cheese in an airtight container for up to 8 weeks. Defrost in the fridge until thawed through. This takes about 3-4 hours depending on the size of the serving you’re defrosting.

So easy full of flavor and so delicious.  Even fooled my non vegan friends!  Spread this cheese on bagel topped with fresh strawberries!  YAH! Very happy to find your recipe, thank you!

I loved it! To be honest, I did not find the cheesy flavour, BUT I liked it a lot and the texture is super accurate! And it's super easy to make, even with a basic blender it was easy to achieve the shiny texture. I'll make this recipe again for sure and try to add some herbs of cheesy flavorings :D
