I’ve just tried it and I’m so happy with the result 😎🤩👍
Awesome!
@@joyoushealth if I were to make this plain. No herbs, garlic etc. Could I use this in recipes calling for cream cheese?
Wow absolutely amazing, definitely will make thanks 🙏 so much 😘🤗😎
Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou for NOT having background music while you are speaking. !!!!
No Kidding

GREAT recipe and presentation! Adding Garlic inhibits fermentation because, garlic is an bisulfide antibiotic. Adding garlic after the fermentation allows for faster and more complete action and the flavor benefit. Garlic should extend the shelf life in the frig..
I like your point. On the other hand, I often add garlic to the vegetables I ferment. And then, you can ferment garlic all by itself. I would love to reconcile all this information.
I just love , love ,love this recipe. I have made it many times. Tkx so much.🙏🏼👍🏼
I make rejuvalac from organic quinoa and filtered water. Easy peasy. Full of probiotics. I also use miso (different recipe). I put the cheese in a glass container with a lid and let it ferment on the counter. After a couple of days I have sharp cheddar...so yummy.
I've tried it, nothing happened! I'm sad. (the quinoa rejuvalac)
I had my eye on this recipe for a few years now, and I finally made it. I'm not vegan, and I love dairy cheese. This cashew cheese turned out delicious. It can totally fool you that it's dairy sour cream cheese. The hardest part is to wait three days for the fermentation to take place. I cheekily gave it a taste after one day and it was not quite there. It was still delicious and creamy but had no tanginess. The second day it was better. On the third day it was great. At that point i put it in the fridge and, after one day of refrigeration is when it really could pass for a dairy sour cheese. I'll make this again, this time with less water though, as mine turned out a bit soft.
I'm glad she explained about non-fortified nutritional yeast. I love nutritional yeast but if I eat more than a tablespoon a day I won't even sleep that night because of all the vitamin B! I didn't realize they were adding it so I just went on Amazon and bought a non fortified version. My husband absolutely loves when I make a cashew cheese. It's amazing!
It really adds to the flavor of the cashew cheese doesn’t it?! 😊
Thanks for the post . I tried it , but as I can’t eat raw cashews because of the lectins I decided to try it with roasted unsalted cashews . It was so delicious . Godbless you xxp
Warm, like 71 degrees. So cute, that's so Canadian.
:)
Stacie Jung I was thinking the same thing, I live in Florida and that’s Oct/Nov weather lol.
@@joyoushealth I can't hear you probably in the video, do you leave the oven on or off? ':D
Lol
I can't wait to try this!! Vegan cheese is so expensive
It is! Hope you loved it! Sorry I just realized I didn't respond to this comment.
its less expensive than most cow cheeses...but yeah doing it your self is even better ;)
@@vincent6875 please what is the name of the cheese?
@@oliviaonyi5139 i dont know if it has a name,its cashew that you ferment 2-3 weeks with nutritional yeast and vegan cheese baterias that you put in a cheese cloath et voila,you can add salt and flavors to your liking before all that
@@vincent6875 yes I know, there something in the contain she add last just want to know the name
"When I'm entertaining I definitely want to cut the cheese..."
Yes, I often feel this way :)
It is beautiful I have lost so much stomach weight and I make began cheese from sweet potato with cashews and it's great the only cheese I really eat is queso when I go to Mexican restaurant only. You can due it hug
Hope you warn your guests first!
I cut the cheese as I read this 😶
; >)
Let er rip! 😂
I had no problem making my cashews very creamy in a regular blender. You get different tastes depending on what you use to ferment it with. I've heard the best is rejuvelac.
I'm on a journey to a more plant based diet. I am so excited to try this! Thanks!
Awesome! Eating more plants is always a good idea. I eat anywhere from 80-90% plant-based as does my family.
Definetly gonna make this. Also shout out to your probiotic tips/gut health tips particularly for Eczema. Within a month of not eating gluten specifically and taking probiotics everyday my hand eczema has cleared up dramatically. My flare up was going on 4 months. Keep it up girl, you know what you're doing.
I have made this three times! Love it!
Muffin27 what probiotics do you use to ferment the cheese? I need to find some
Pieceofheavennn I use Pure Encapsulation Probiotic 5. 10 billion CFU. I just prefer that brand. And it’s dairy free
Muffin27 thank you so much I’m going to purchase. Do you use one capsule or two when making a decent portion of the cheese?
Pieceofheavennn I use two. I first said one but am using two
Where did you get your cheese bag?
Thanks for the recipe. I’m gonna try it. I’ve been researching gut health recipes and kind of intimidated by other fermented recipes. Feel like I can accomplish this one 😂 fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for sharing
Going to try this with some oat milk as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the estrogen and BLV in dairy. Thanks for sharing
Hey everyone! Here's the full recipe if you want decide you want to make it: www.joyoushealth.com/27245-blog-homemade-creamy-cashew-cheese Be warned, IT STINKS when it's fermenting! But it's DELICIOUS and amazing for gut health.
I like this recipe a lot. I substituted garlic with garlic powder and chives. And vinegar with lemon.
Sounds delicious!
I love this video! I love this girl! This is probably the best video I've found, I'm vegan and this is going to help me so much! I cant wait to try it!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!❤
Thanks for sharing this recipe!! Definitely want to try it out. I rimse my cashews after they soak otherwise they'll give me a stomach ache
i find leaving my cheese next to a dictionary with some classical music in the background works quite well.
Scottish Independence sounds like you’ll have a well educated cheese
Why do I feel we should be having an anti-Brexit rally together, forget about the cheese?
@@evelynbaron2004 I wouldn't be joining you. I am pro democracy and pro Brexit.
@@MagpieNews777 Inhowfar is pro Brexit aligning with pro Democracy? 51% pro Brexit with a horribly low voter participation can't be called democracy. At least it's not very ethical to exclude thousands of people from a society they have lived in for decades.
Why am I even writing this comment? It's like crying out "please insult me".
Discussing Brexit is like wanting to discuss religion by now.
Sorry.
@@Mia7Eyes The EU referendum had the highest ever turnout for any election/referendum in the UK, the second biggest turnout being the Scottish referendum. And I lived and worked abroad for a decade and a half, not once did I think I had a say in how they run their country. People often told me I was considered native, but I would tell them, aye, but at the end of the day when and if things don't work out for me I can always go "home". I was just grateful to be allowed to live, work, love and embrace their culture.
I still come back to this every time I want really good cheese that doesn't cost an arm & a leg. Thank you for a great tutorial.
I find that if I make cashew milk and strain the cashews in a nut milk bag it's much easier to get a smooth texture. My blender doesn't come with a tamper. Although its probably a softer cheese.
I'm so happy to hear that you love this cheese!
💜I used to food processor and it turned out amazing💜
Glad to hear it! Enjoy!
Glad it works with a food processor! I don’t use a blender. Can’t wait to try it!
Where did get your cheese bag?
Joyce Bussey i bought the cheese bag off of amazon. :)
Omg, I want to try this so much, it’s definitely next level being fermented in this way! You made this recipe easy enough to follow and not so intimidating! I just subscribed! I’m looking forward to more of your great next level recipes and your unique way of presenting them to us, in this instance it was a little scientific, which is necessary for this recipe! Thank you for your efforts and knowledge!
Blenders are really good for liquidy foods. Food processors are excellent for more solid preparations. I would make my life much easier by choosing a food processor for this project.
Looks amazing been vegan for almost 3 months now
keep at it !
I enjoyed watching your video. You made making cashew cheese sound so easy and beneficial that I have to try it. The questions I had were answered in the recipe. I can’t wait to try it. Thx a bunches.
I am going to try this. Thanks
Thanks for not being bored.
Thank you! Your video is so upbeat and a pleasure to watch! I am definitely going to make this cheese!
Thanks so much Kim! Enjoy!
I love this channel! What infectious happiness and enthusiasm. It was this video that inspired me to go get everything needed to DO THIS!!!! Great channel. Stay happy!!!
Maria Dian Therese that’s awesome! Can’t wait to hear about the yumminess in a few days 😉
This looks really good and I look forward to trying it. But how will I know when it’s “done” fermenting and time to place in refrigerator?
Looks good.
I am making this tomorrow and using a piece of store bought fresh cultured Cashew cheese as a starter.
I love how she says "Their is a perfect warm place, but! You have to remember" 🤣that's very good advice for forgetful people like me lol.
Thank you very much! I am sure going to try and make this cheese!
I was wondering if we can also use "cutting edge cultures" as probiotics? Thank you!🙏
You're welcome! I don't know that brand.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Owh, Joy.... This is genius, thank you for this recipe.. . I love cheese but the ordinary cheese just make me bloated... Will give it a try soon 😉👍
Me too, well, cow's milk cheese. I'm okay with goat or sheep, but it's just really nice to have a non-dairy option. Hope you love it!
Awesome! 👏Thank you for sharing!
Learnt new things from this video, thanks so much!!!!😍🌱🌱
I love your recipe.
WooHoo...Ontario...my home province!!! By the way...the proper name for a wire mesh strainer is a sieve. Great tutorial! :D
where do u live now
Thank you, Thank you...You are helping turn peoples health around. God bless you.
I've made this without the fermenting process but this looks yummy and love the "gut health" appeal!
Sharon Bella hope you try it!!
It’s nice to eat what makes your body happy. But what is more nice is knowing you can make it yourself instead of always going to the store and relying on the store, and there extreme prices
Michelle3345 yes exactly! It’s so rewarding ❤️
This looks delicious Joy. I make a cashew and light miso paste cheese this way, with two ingredients it's also good. As well as low room temperature being a reason for longer fermentation time, maybe adding garlic might kill off some of the probiotics, just a thought, possibly add the flavours after it's fermented? I don't bother using a nut milk bag it ferments fine in a bowl or jar, but the bag will help extra liquid drain away. Anyway it really looks yum.
I make a similar cheese without the vinegar. I also don't use a nutbag just place the cheese in a small plastic colander with a plate under it. I find you waste so much with the bag trying to scrape it of the sides, I also add chopped chives to it after the ferment.
Thanks for sharing your tips😃🐎🐎🐎🐎
Patricia McDonald Can you give us the recipe please?
@@despinachristakis1485 sorry I just saw your reply! For my taste: I soak 1 cup cashews or sunflower seeds overnight drain and rinse and blend with minimal water, just enough to make a smooth, thin, yoghurt-like paste. Add two tablespoons of white miso paste and mix in thoroughly. Place in a bowl, cover lightly ( just don't tightly seal it, it needs to breathe) leave on kitchen counter for about 8 hours. You'll know it's done when it thickens up. That's all, store in fridge keeps a long time. Make sure all equipment has been very clean, as with all fermentation.
@@patriciamcdonald6149
Thank you for this recipe! It sounds very easy. 👍😊
Thanks !! I’m going to try this tomorrow!!
I love your. Happy Mother’s Day!
I am so excited to try this. I adore cheese but dairy is not my friend.💕
I like this because not only are you getting probiotics you’re also getting an amazing cheese
Lotus yes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻it’s delish!!
I can't believe I just found your channel! I saw you give a talk here in Calgary at Community Foods awhile ago. You are so sweet, knowledgeable and stunning. All the best ☺️
Cristina Horning thank you so much for your sweet comment and coming to my talk at Community! I hope to be back in 2020. Wishing you joyous health 💖🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏
Nom nom, Explained very clearly, now it's just up to me to implement it 😋 Thanks for the inspiration, I'll pass if I've succeeded 👋🤪🧀
This is so amazing! I'm trying this
Thanks. I made it and it is so delicious. Plz. Tell me if I can make this fermented cheese using Almond or other nuts. Thanks💐
You can; almonds contain more calcium but you have to slip off skins after soaking so a bit more work; texture is grittier, but I like it as well.
Can I use chickpeas or another bean?
GREAT tip about using the sauerkraut juice! Thanks! I also use Sea Moss to help with stretch.
Great!
Mimi Ashford, thanks for this
Didn't realised I could use Sea Moss
By the way I love you a lot...your videos are so informative....can you pls make a video about collagen peptides and marine wich one is better pls??
Hi! Thank you! Just look for the word "hydrolyzed" on the collagen you purchase. Hydrolyzed collagen is the same thing as collagen peptides. So I use Genuine Health Marine Collagen. They have bovine too but I just prefer marine. In research one is not a clear winner over the other for skin health despite what a lot of people might claim.
@@joyoushealth OK...VERY GOOD... THANX A LOT...GOD BLESS YOU
Just made a batch this morning. Thanks for the fine video.
Exploring with Jan you’re welcome! Enjoy!!
Love the heart cookie cutter idea! Definitely gonna try this, thanks!
Great!! Hope you love it!!
Will try today, sounds very good. I had before but never made it. thank you
I’m so excited to try this, thanks for the awesome video! Would love to trick my fam into enjoying some vegan cheese 😁👍🏼
I bet you could. Most people cannot tell the difference with this cheese. The key is to blend the cashews really really well!
Thanks for sharing this. I have just made it and wrapped it in some chux cloth. 😄put in my oven which is cooling down post cooking so the warm environment should give it a kick-start 😍
I will have to try this. Every vegan cheese I've seen in stores has coconut oil as a main ingredient, and for some reason, coconut oil makes me feel nauseous when I eat it.
Oh really! That's so odd. I've never seen that added to a vegan cheese.
@@joyoushealth I live in Belgium, so maybe they just do it different here.
@@alladin_payne That makes sense. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
I love this recipe, it rocks. Makes awesome cheese. Thanks so much.
I find that everyone finds working with cashews easier than other nuts; I use the yoghurt setting on my Instant Pot after soaking and let it be a little bit looser because one thing I miss is Tsatsiki with scallions and cucumber, but your demo was the bomb!
Thanks so much! Ya cashews are nice and soft to work with although other nuts totally work like almonds, depending how much you can grind them up.
Looks delicious! I love cashews... they are a staple food in my daily diet! I definitely want to make this! Thank you.. many many blessings to you! Heidi Lynn...
WildflowerChristian thanks Heidi! ❤️
Thank you this was great
You're welcome!
I must try this too .
Look, I've tried this cheese to the letter! And I was soo excited. Here it is day three though, and either im not sure I have cheese yet, or it just tastes awful! And I was sure to fallow the recipe to the letter. I was sooo excited to try this out, as a vegan chef myself. Maybe if you went a little more into depth on what the cheese should look like or taste like when done that would be helpful. I'm hoping what I got isn't the final product.
What brand of probiotics did you use? Maybe they were off or funky.
It should have a tangy taste and smell like cheese. You can see the texture in my video and if you go to my blog you can see more photos. My only other thought is maybe it’s just not your thing?
Thank you so much Joy, you did a great video. Great recipe, I will definitely try!
Came here to see how you make cheese not for a health lecture. Over two minutes and she finally gets into the making of the recipe
Very cool video.... :) While I am a confirmed carivore, I do eat a non meat items.... I am going to try a few recipes out for this coming winter.... snow storms are good cookin days!!! :)
TKA Mtnman glad to hear it!!
Hi! Thank you for this awesome video. You are great! And i am going to attempt this! :) Would you please tell me how much Kambucha you would use for the recipe in lieu of probiotics? Thank you!! keep making cool videos!!
Paul Hipp thanks so much! I’m not sure because I haven’t tried it. Probiotics will be a much higher amount of bacteria but give it a try!
Looks Great Thank you ❤ Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
Thanx a lot....can you pls tell me what brand is your blender??
Hi! I actually have 2. In my studio kitchen I use a Blendtec and at home I have a Vitamix. I use my Vitamix on a near daily basis but they both are great. Blendtec is cheaper but it is not as sturdy.
@@joyoushealth I highly appreciate your answer.... thanx a lot.... I will buy vitamix then..I have ninja turbo blender but I liked the one I saw you using.... by the way I love you so much...Am learning a lot from you...I don't want to miss even one video....GOD BLESS YOU
I have a cheesecake recipe that requires baking would this hold up in that? I used to use 16 Oz. Cream cheese from the store. Thanks. Love this recipe!!
I don't think so. This vegan cheesecake recipe is great though! And it's no-bake: www.joyoushealth.com/16760-blog-rawkin-raspberry-cheesecake
I love you. happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you!
Last 2 weeks? You're kidding, at my place it's lucky to last 2 days!
You are right. I will be lucky if it survives a day. I love cheese specially vegan cheese.
Hi Joy, love your videos! In your instructions, it says to make sure to always use on roasted and unsalted cashews. Why is that? Have you ever experimented making cashew cheese with roasted and salted cashews where the results were not good?
I've been learning about lectins and other anti nutrients, and I heard that roasting cashews actually reduces it by half, so it makes me wonder if roasted cashew cheese might actually be good?
Hi there! Raw cashews are softer and easier to make the cheese into a creamy paste when you blend or process it. Roasted and salted on the other hand are much crunchier and you won't be able to get that smooth creamy texture. Lectins aren't an issue for most people so I'm not on the side of Gundry that every food that contains a lection is poison. If you eat a food and you feel bad from it, avoid it. If you don't, then enjoy :)
@@joyoushealth oh cool. Thank you so much for the tip.
Do you have a recipe for vegan cream cheese?
Looks really good!! Downside is all the soaking won’t remove the oxalate which is high in nuts and is zero in real cheese….I’m running into the same problem with my recipe creation….One thing works (say eggs and cheese for keto) but then I’m intolerant to the replacement ingredients! Urg!!!
Looks delish! Thanks Elvira!
Oh maybe that's my next Halloween costume, I won't even have to dress up.
Great recipe ! I think I might have made 2 mistakes, please reassure me :
#1: I’ve used “ordinary cashews” not the raw type
#2: I’ve used the kind of bag they also use to make milk (mine oats) in cotton.
It smell so gooood in my oven right now ! I hope I’ll be able to have some without getting sick ....
Please tell me I won’t have to start all over. I love your recipes and intend to buy your books next year 😉
Thanks for your help !
Hi Joy. I'm Asha from Mauritius 🇲🇺. Actually I'm having issues in getting probiotic capsules here. Pls help advise how to make sauerkraut for the juices, which I believe is an alternative to the capsules. Ty ve much
Nice videos indeed.
I have good news for you. You don't need probiotics to make sauerkraut. Here's my video on how to make kraut: ua-cam.com/video/a1FsFR522go/v-deo.html
@@joyoushealth Thank you very. I'll stay in touch. Tc. 🙏
What interesting topics about the gut microbine
Hi could I use Kimchi/Sauerkraut juice as well as ACV?
I am so going to try this
Can i put both the probiotic capsules AND some juice from my own sauerkraut?
I wish if you can make a video how to make sauerkraut fermented cabbage.... THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I am definitely making this one! Thank you;)
Could you use a port wine as the fermented ingredient and make a nice port wine cheese spread?
I don't know if it would have enough bacteria to work but I suppose you could try it!
What? You're using a BlendTech and NOT a Vitamix? LOL Me too. I am just so accustomed to seeing everyone using a Vitamix. Thank you for teaching us. Also, where did you get those measuring spoons? Could you add a link to where I can buy them? Where did you get that tamper? My BlendTech didn't come with one.
Anna K I use my vitamin WAY more than my blendtec actually. We filmed this in my studio kitchen but at home I have a Vitamix. I like them both but for different uses. I think I got them from Homesense or a garage sale - one of the 2?
Anna K oh and the tamper is actually from my vitamix lol!!
Is it ok to add salt or it mqy affect the ferementation? I like salty cheeses.
Hi Joy, thank you so much for this recipe.
Gisele Nascimento you’re welcome!
I bought vegetable rennet..........can I use that with your recipe?
I made walnut cheese! its unbelievable!
Hi, sounds like another must have cheese recipe. 😍 Would you share the recipe/method please, by any chance!
How about using rejuvelac with this?i was hoping you would use that. Because I make my own and I don’t wanna add the probiotics. Would t work the same with rejuvelac?
Hi ! where can I find the probiotics? Thank you so much for your recipe
Any health food store will carry them, or buy online.
Has it ever got mouldy? My first try was a succes but the second time it got mould... any advice?
That hasn't happened to me but it can definitely happen given the right conditions for mould to form. Can you cut it off? It may have been too warm or too long before refrigerating it however, I'm sure you followed the same method as last time?
@@joyoushealth I tried cutting it off but it grew back... I followed your instructions but I didn't use garlic this time. Same 2 days and all. I guess it was a bit hot those days.
Wayak oh bummer, sorry to hear!
