Vegan Cheese For Dipping and Spreading

(Adapted from Veggie On A Penny)

Yield: about 3 cups (750 ml)

Ingredients

3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped - enough to make 2 cups (450 g)

2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped - enough to make 1 cup (250 g)

1/2 cup (125 ml) water

1/3 cup (68 ml) extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp (15 g) salt

1 tbsp (16 ml) lemon juice

1/2 cup (45 g) nutritional yeast

I didn't include the gram equivalent of the spices because they were so low I couldn't see them on my scale!

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Dash of cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp (4 g) Homemade Vegan Chicken Seasoning

Directions

1. Boil the potatoes and carrots until they are soft. Let cool.

2. In a processor or blender, add all of the ingredients and process/blend until smooth.

Note: I have found that I need to run the ingredients through the food processor first on high speed until everything is quite smooth. The problem is that the carrots never fully process. So I transfer the cheese into my blender and blend on high speed. This does the trick! The cheese comes out very well blended and smooth, not a hint of a shred of carrot!

Note: This cheese will harden up in the fridge and is best the next day. You can melt it in the microwave for a dip or use it cold for a cheese spread. Keeps for up to a week.
