I have some plain almond milk, and I was wondering if I could make some vegan almond cheese with it. I read an article online about making cheese, and it says that all you need is some milk and something acidic, like lemon juice or vinegar. However, they used cow's milk, so I'm not sure if it would work with almond milk.

Has anyone ever tried this? Do you have a recipe?

Thanks. :)|||There is no such thing as Vegan Cheese. There are many Cheese substitutes, but none of them are actually cheese.

I continue to be amazed at those who decide to forgo animal products, yet spend so much time trying to replace them.

If you want to be a Vegan, thats great for you. However, be a vegan. Stop trying to pretend like Tofurkey is the same thing as turkey, that Soy Milk is the same as Cows Milk, or that tofu is anything other than fermented bean curd.

Embrace your chosen life style. Eat plants only, stop trying to keep all the fun of meat products without the "pain".|||I can recommend a cheese-like sauce.

Basically you need:

-cashews (raw gives more of a mild/sweet cheesy taste, and roasted gives more of a rich taste
-nutritional yeast flakes (this gives it the tangy taste. It's a necessary ingredient)
-turmeric (I honestly add this because it is healthy, but it gives it a nice colour)
-salt to taste
- lemon juice
-1 or 2 cloves of garlic
-other spices if you want (I've added herbs such as oregano, and it's been pretty good)

I'd say use 1-2 cups of cashews, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes, and you can figure out how much you need for the other ingredients, according to your tastes.

Put all the ingredients into a blender with some 1-2 cups of water. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat on low mixing constantly. You can use the sauce right away, or put it in the refrigerator overnight to give it a tangier taste.|||Homemade vegan "cheese" is typically made with nuts, not with soy or almond milk. As someone mentioned earlier, when you add something acidic to soymilk, you get tofu. I doubt it would do anything to almond milk, because it doesn't have any protein, and that's the part that coagulates.

Google "nut cheese recipes" and you'll get a ton of recipes. Almonds and cashews are the most commonly used, but there are recipes with all sorts of nuts.

Good luck!|||I'm not quite sure if that will work. I do know that tofu is made using the method you described, except soy milk is used. I found an internet site that explains how to make vegan cheese. The recipe dosen't call for almond milk, but it does call for tahini:

http://www.veganreader.com/2009/06/25/ve鈥?/a>|||you could search the internet with the phrase "how to make vegan cheese" or you could find out if there is a health food store in and around the area that you live in which sells vegan cheese.for that information go to happy cow at http://www.happycow.net|||Yes, you can make a cheese like product out of cashews and other ingredients. How it All Vegan has several good recipes. I recommend buying the book. They use cashews and sometimes other nuts, and sunflower seeds too.

Bon appetit.|||I don't think you could make anything approaching "cheeselike" with those ingredients. Your best investment would be a copy of The Uncheese Cookbook. ( I suggest the original over the revised version.) I use that book all the time. Just last night we had grilled cheez sandwiches. Yummy!|||we've tried making our own cheese and it was an experiment gone wrong. stunk up the entire house and looked terrifying. good luck trying to find something!
