Vegan Cottage Cheese

While not an exact approximation, this recipe definitely comes close to filling the void left by cottage cheese. Check out the original recipe by Loving It Vegan.

Ingredients
1 and 1/2 c. raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. coconut cream (canned, unsweetened)
1/3 c. water
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
8 oz. extra firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
1 tsp. chives, chopped

Directions
Place soaked cashews, lemon juice, coconut cream, water, white vinegar, salt, nutritional yeast, onion powder and garlic powder into the blender and blend until smooth. Crumble the tofu and add it to a bowl. Pour over the blended cheese mixture, add the chopped chives and fold everything together gently so you don’t break up the tofu.

Place into the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.
