How to Prepare Cashew Cheese [Vegan]

Soak, drain and rinse cashews.
Place in a food processor, along with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
Pulse for about 1 minute to combine ingredients.

You may want to turn off the food processor and scrape down the cheese from the sides a couple of times. You will have to soak the cashews for at least 1 hour. You can soak them for up to 24 hours. The longer you soak them the more ceamy they will become. If you don’t want to soak them for 24 hours, soaking them for an hour is totally sufficient.
