How to Prepare Semi-soft Chocolate Dessert Cheez [Vegan]

  1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lemon juice with 1/2 cup of the almond milk.  Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining almond milk and agar flakes until boiling, turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, in a blender, add the milk/lemon juice mixture, almonds, miso, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, cocoa powder, coffee flavoring and vanilla extract.  Process just to combine.
  4. When the milk/agar mixture is ready, slowly pour it into the blender and process at low speed.  Cover the blender and process on higher speed until the mixture is very smooth.
  5. Immediately pour into three small ramekins.
  6. Allow to set in the refrigerator for an hour or two.  It will become firm, but have a creamy texture that is very spreadable.
