Ingredients You Need for Gorgonzola [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  • 7 ounces extra-firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon spirulina

How to Prepare Gorgonzola [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Drain and press the tofu to release its liquid. Place all the ingredients, except the spirulina, in a blender, and process until smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, dot the cheese with the spirulina, and fold it over a few times to create the blue-green veins.
  3. Place the cheese mixture in a container lined with plastic wrap and pack it with a spatula, smoothing the surface. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours to firm and set.
  4. Wrap the cheese in plastic wrap. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Will keep, refrigerated, for 1 to 2 weeks. The flavor will continue to develop as it ages.
