Smoked Coconut Gouda [Vegan]
Ingredients You Need for Smoked Coconut Gouda [Vegan]
- 1 13.66-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons agar agar powder or 8 tablespoons agar agar flakes (the powder is much more concentrated)
- 2 tablespoons potato starch, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon dry pectin
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
How to Prepare Smoked Coconut Gouda [Vegan]
- In a blender, combine coconut milk, water, agar agar powder, pectin, liquid smoke, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and nutritional yeast until fully combined.
- Heat this mixture in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it all comes to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium (still boiling) and continue to stir for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Have your tapioca starch, potato starch and xanthan gum mixed all together in a small container. This is your powder mixture.
- Quickly and carefully pour hot cheese mixture into your power blender or food processor.
- Add your powder mixture from above and promptly process until thick, scraping down sides if necessary.
- Immediately pour into a lightly oiled container and use a silicone (or other) spatula to scrape it out. A small round glass container or an 8 or 9-inch round pie or cake tin will work. Put the uncovered container in the refrigerator.
- Allow to set up for an hour or two. Turn out onto a plate and leave uncovered for an additional 5 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. The cheese gets firmer the longer it sets. Once firm, store the cheese in a covered container and use or freeze within the week.

Just thought I would let you guys know that traditional Worcestershire sauce is NOT vegan! It contains anchovies. Make sure you find vegan-friendly Worcestershire sauce for this recipe.
Hi!! I’m making this tonight but don’t see when I’m supposed to add the lemon juice. Thanks!
Hey there! :-)
Ive done something wrong i think so… what can be the reason that the outcome is pudding from the texture? :-(
