I’ve been eating a keto lifestyle for two years and have struggled a bit because it is heavy with meat. I stumbled upon your channel and feel totally inspired by your journey to blend vegan with keto. Love watching your videos😊. Thank you!
Yes, me too! Just discovered this wonderful lady and her channel last week and I've been doing nothing but watching videos and writing down recipes. I'm absolutely inspired!
That smoked version looks amazing. I'm not vegan. I subscribe to this channel because i really admire your creativity, and your dedication to this lifestyle because it can't be easy to do a high fat plant based diet. I wonder if you can use any other type of nut? Cashews are a little higher than i like, but i would be will be ok with it if i can't use macadamia nuts or almonds. Also, have you tried this with full fat coconut milk? I noticed the can you used said light. Again, not vegan, regular keto, going to try this recipe for sure because that looks amazing, and even those of us who eat meat can benefit from being flexible and knowledgeable of plant based ingredients.
Thank you so much angie! You can definitely use almonds (macadamia should be fine too) but make sure you soak the almonds for a few hours before use (no need to remove skin). Also, full fat coconut milk is totally fine. I would have used it if I could get hold of it.
I made this for my grandson and he LOVED it, mostly the smoked cheese. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and instructions. My little guy can’t have dairy so this is a amazingly tasty alternative .
This recipe was AHHH-MAYZING! I made the smoked version. It turned out so delicious and beautiful. I misread the recipe and only put 2 T's of flake agar-agar but the creaminess was perfect and it held together wonderfully. I'm going to stick with that adjustment. BUT, my carb counter app alerted me that it was higher in carbs than I need and high in calories. So, it's going to be a special treat for when I'm in the phase of maintaining my weight, after I drop the weight I need to lose now. I'll be making this for parties and my husband LOVES it. GREAT recipe.
You may replace the Cashew with Macadamia that is relatively lower in carbs. Just soak the macadamia for 24hs. (It's an harder nut than cashew) Skip the carrot that is another high carb ingredients and replace it with pinch of turmeric. I believe that after these replacements it will be low carb.
Love the smoked cheese! I'm sensitive to agar agar so didn't do that step. Had to try it right away! Awesome spread on your seed crackers, added some chopped toasted almonds! Keto, not vegan yet but headed that way! Thank you for your inspiration!!
How wonderful to make a cheese that is so full of taste AND nutrition. Each ingredient had some nutritional merit, awesome. I like how you said the paprika had that 'mmmness' lol 18.25😁👍
These are lovely! Fun to do too. My only change is to put crinkled grease proof paper up the sides, into the containers without extra oil, just my preference. Also think the cheeses looks lovely with the set crinkly edges! Your recipes are wonderful 🌞
Wow hats off to you to be vegan and finding ways to do keto. I am a vegetarian and consume egg and milk products yet I have great difficulty finding keto options.
Thank you so much for your gorgeous, nutritional and very professional recipes. I'm not normally very good with vegan cheese, but this one came out very well and was very sliceable. It tasted absolutely fine, but I wondered if there's any suggestion as to how I could make it taste a little bit 'sharper'? I think the carrot I used may have been a bit too big and I wasn't sure of onion size. That said, it still tasted much, much better than all the other vegan cheeses I've tried to make. Many thanks once again and for this lovely channel.
I'm glad I found your channel. I am trying to switch dairy free Keto. I never realized how much cheese I consumed. So glad you have provided me with a substitute.
I will try it , the problem will be agar powder i am not sure i will find it from the health shops . I tried other cheese but with milk and the problem was i couldn’t find farmers milk instead regular packed . Thanks for sharing i loved your videos recipes 👏👏👏
Fan, you are AWESOME 😁! I love cheese and I'm glad you didn't use tofu. I was told soy is not good, do you know if that is true? I love tofu but I have been cutting down my consumption of it 😔. I also love macadamia nuts, could I use it as a substitute for the cashews?
I do not know about the UK but you can get Aroy-D brand coconut milk and cream in cartons from Amazon. Aroy-D is absolutely the best! I am not vegan but am keto and I love your recipes and your presentation!
So glad to see you are doing well with the pandemic, staying good and healthy! What a great video, and that paprika cheese with the nuts was so elegant and beautiful-- it would be great for a party or gathering! Of course that would have to be once people can gather again. Yummy!
Hello, and thanks for this, the smoked one looks amazing. I have a question, I’m not Vegan, do you know if full fat cream would work as well as the coconut milk? Have you also tried to fry the cheese to see what happens?
I love your video. Thank you for sharing! Just a few questions, if you please: Will this cheese melt? My son is on a non-dairy keto and I need a cheese that will melt for his pizza. Can the agar be substituted or omitted and still have a good result? Will it make a difference in texture if the cashews are soaked? Thanks again and many blessings!
I've lately been wanting to slowly eliminate meat from my diet to reduce my carbon footprint and reduce the mismanagement of animal resources. Your enthusiasm I see in every video motivates me to meet my goal!
I am vegan (using no added fat in the form of processed oils). I am considering going keto vegan due to having such terribly itchy skin. It drives me crazy!! Heavenly Fan - did you have the same problem being vegan? I am hoping that keto vegan will resolve this issue. Anyone out there having the same problem? Did going keto vegan help any? Great videos - thank you for all your inspiring work.
I've never had itchy skin being vegan but it sounds very much could be due to your diet, environment or hormonal changes. As I remember there was one occasion my skin was so itchy prior to my period (PMS). But it was one-off. I have no medical training at all so this is purely a suggestion like a friend to another. You can always try vegan keto and see if it improves your condition. Sometime process of elimination is the most effective way if the cause of symptoms is unclear. Big hugs from me X
@@HeavenlyFan Thank you Heavenly Fan for your support. I like your idea of process of elimination. I am 63 - thank goodness the monthly thing has gone by the wayside!! I read yesterday while researching that itchy skin on a vegan diet can come from not having enough omega 3s. So I will try as suggested to eat more soy, chia/ flax/and hemp seeds, avocados, nuts, spinach, and someone mentioned adding (seaweed/algae-based supplements) or nori sheets for extra omega 3s. All things I like!! Thank you again for your suggestions. X
What but and amount can be used in place of Cashews? I have a terrible allergy to Cashews / Poison Ivy style allergy. Cannot wait to try the Brazil Nut/Smoked Paprika one! Thanks AGAIN!!!
This looks so good! Will definitely try this...😍 Is there any particular reason why in so many vegan cheese recipes cashews are used? Can I replace it for example with walnuts or hazelnuts?
Cashews are best for cheeses because their slight sweetness mimics lactose, the sugar in milk. It also yields a much creamier product than other nuts, and other nuts also have a much stronger flavor that would not taste as cheesy or creamy.
You can actually make coconut milk or cream at home from scratch simply and easily using dried coconut. It is cheaper, tastes better, and does not have all the junk in it. There are plenty of easy recipes online.
I’m allergic to cashews, walnuts and other nuts with lectins like peanuts. Do you have vegan cheese made of pecans or pistachios and the recipes please please? ❤ thank you ❤
I totally agree about the tins, but there are three products that I just can't find in any other version: canned coconut milk, plain pumpkin puree, and Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce 😁 I make everything from scratch, except vegan cheese, and I have wanted to start diving into different vegan cheeses.... Some seem so complicated with rejuvelac and all that. So I just made vegan mozzarella balls for the first time today, and now your smoked paprika cheese with the nuts is next on my list. That looks soooooooooo incredible!!! 😁 And your little glass domed container is absolutely lovely!!! ❤️
I have subscribed, so clearly am interested but just need to add a small criticism : cheddar cheese in its country of origin, is not orange so the carrot would be unnecessary. Only in the states is cheddar orange! Cheddar is in Somerset, England!
Delicious .... but despite the large amount of nutritional yeast, it does not taste like cheese, but like spicy cashew spread. To get a cheese flavor you should ferment the cashews with a probiotic that contains lactic acid bacteria. You do not need so many ingredients - only cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, white pepper and probiotics. Grind with a little water to a smooth cream, leave in a dark and warm place for 24 hours and then refrigerate until set.
This is a good alternative. But I have one question: Is the Nutritional Yeast absolutely necessary? I only ask because the stuff causes me to break out; guessing I'm allergic or at least sensitive. I really, REALLY miss cheese...
@@antoinettejohnson6251 No.Nutritional yeast can be replaced buy white Misso and mostly by probiotics or cheese bacteria.there are many recipes of vegan cheese that based on cashew or almonds
I wonder if the smoked version was creamier because it was processed longer? You blitzed it more to mix in the smoked paprika. Just a thought. It looks lovely (especially crusted with nuts on top)!
Oh sorry to say Heavenly Fan but according to your video instructions it looks as though you need to add a carrot to your plain cheese recipe ingredient list as well as the measurement for the Nutritional Yeast, please. 😉
Watch the carbs!!! Cashew is NOT keto fraindly. I suggest to replace the cashew with low carbs nuts like Macadamia or walnuts. (Can be mixed) the colour will be different,but for the smoky version it's not important.
What is really amazing, it’s you. I can‘t stop watching your video🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cheese looks great

Your recipes are fantastic. I've been looking for vegetarian keto recipes and I look forward to trying these out. Thank you!
This is an excellent recipe! I had no agar agar and made it without for a tasty dip/spread. This recipe is a keeper!
GOD bless you, Fan! Thanks!
I am a full blown carnivore but I love your vegan stuff

Looks delicious 😋 I’m making today 🥰
I have all these ingredients (minus Brazilian nuts) but I have walnuts 😬I will be making this for movie night!
I'm going to try to make ths. I will hunt for ingredients soon.
Do you have a video on cream and cottage. I wanted to try coconut yoghurt cheese.
Hi. Can we use macadamia nuts instead of cashew? Thanks
do you make cheese with sunflower seeds too? Also, couldn't you add turmeric for color?
Turmeric is a nice way to add colour but for me it definitely has a taste.
I love your recipes, thank you for sharing.
What but and amount can be used in place of Cashews? I have a terrible allergy to Cashews / Poison Ivy style allergy. Cannot wait to try the Brazil Nut/Smoked Paprika one! Thanks AGAIN!!!
I’m not vegan but I am keto and I cannot eat cheese. Lactose intolerant so this is something I’m going to try thank you 😊
Plz can you make a recipe for cheese without yeast... For those with yeast allergies🙏💛
This looks so good! Will definitely try this...😍
Is there any particular reason why in so many vegan cheese recipes cashews are used? Can I replace it for example with walnuts or hazelnuts?

Cashews are high in net-carbs. 27g per 100g. It's half of carbs of pasta, rice, legumes.
Can you use unflavored gelatin instead of agar agar?
I totally agree about the tins, but there are three products that I just can't find in any other version: canned coconut milk, plain pumpkin puree, and Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce 😁

I think I have found coconut milk in cartons before but they’re very hard to come by. I’m not quite sure why that is.
@@HeavenlyFan Sainsbury’s sell coconut cream in a carton.
Oh I must check them out. Haven’t shopped with them for a while. Thanks for the tip x
I have subscribed, so clearly am interested but just need to add a small criticism : cheddar cheese in its country of origin, is not orange so the carrot would be unnecessary. Only in the states is cheddar orange! Cheddar is in Somerset, England!
Can you use other types of nuts? Do you find the carb count is OK for keto with it being cashew nuts?
What else can we have with this other than cucumber
Hello! Can I replace agar agar powder with xanthan gum?
Have you worked out the macros as i thought that cashews were quite high carb? :D
Anyone recommend a good sub for coconut milk please?
I was aa little surprised you didn't presoak the cashews

@@antoinettejohnson6251
No.Nutritional yeast can be replaced buy white Misso and mostly by probiotics or cheese bacteria.there are many recipes of vegan cheese that based on cashew or almonds
Can one use vegan yogurt to provide the probiotic?
I wonder if this cheese will work with almonds or some other nut? Has anyone tried that?
Looks awesome! But, darn, I gave my agar agar powder away after years of not using it
Can we skip nutritional yeast
What would happen sans oil?
Do you ever feel your depriving your body of nutrients and amino acids?
but arent cashews high in carbs?
Jesus is my Lord.
Do you have a rice crispy teat recipe without peanut or nut seed butters as the "glue" or binding ingredient.
I wonder if the smoked version was creamier because it was processed longer? You blitzed it more to mix in the smoked paprika. Just a thought. It looks lovely (especially crusted with nuts on top)!
Oh sorry to say Heavenly Fan but according to your video instructions it looks as though you need to add a carrot to your plain cheese recipe ingredient list as well as the measurement for the Nutritional Yeast, please. 😉
