Raw Vegan Almond Cheese [Chef Tina Jo's Recipes]

http://www.ChefTinaJo.com/3daychallenge

In this video I share my recipe for almond cheese. Here's a simple, yet delicious recipe for almond cheese. Once you master this, the sky's the limit! There are so many wonderful ways you can incorporate herbs, spices and other nuts, seeds and even coconut into this basic recipe. Different nuts and seeds produce different flavors and textures. Pressing or dehydrating can also produce different textures. Remember, this is a living food and good for you, but it is rich, so be careful of the fat content.

Thanks for sharing Tina. Do you add the salt or other seasoning after fermented or is it best to add them in the blender?

[cheftinajo]

@clairepatt1 I add seasoning after the cheese has fermented. This way, you know exactly what flavors you're working with because not all cheese has the same fermentation taste;) Enjoy! Tina Jo

How can it be raw if you put the almonds in boiling water (over 118 degrees)?

[cheftinajo]

@leronk Hi Leronk, The almonds have been sprouted prier to their blanching which helps them to release their enzyme inhibitor. The blanching does destroy some of the enzymes, however not all of them. If you are trying to maintain a 100% raw diet, try using different nuts or seeds to create your cheese (those without skins). Hope this helps. Much love, Tina Jo

What is the probiotic? Where do you get it? What is it called? Thanks!

[Lonewolf253]

do u have to use probiotic to make cheese? and if yes, why?

[YovanniTV]

I am beyond excited to try this cheese version.

[Daliasan]

Is plain almond cheese good to make a vegan cheesecake (as a cashew alternative)?

Or are cashews better for cheesecake?

Thanks a lot, Tina :)

Thank you Broken RRT for the explanation. Very good information and details.

@cappykay NCP probiotics

[BrokenRRT]

@cappykay The almonds are soaked first over night to start the sprouting process and to wash out the enzyme inhibitor that nuts/seeds have in them. The reason she blanched them in the hot water was to remove the skins and only to remove the skins. You do not have to do that after you soak/sprout your nuts usually but to keep the nut cheese looking like and feeling like traditional cheese is why roving the skin was done here. Probiotics is the culture used to start the fermentation.

[cappykay]

Yikes! Sorry about all the comments...I am new to you tube also! Many apologies!

[cappykay]

Can you explain the pro biotic and how you use it....II am very new to this raw concept.

Can you also explain what you mean by sprouting the almonds - does this mean you soaked them first, then poured boiling water over them? Lastly, does this cheese and the other cheeses mentioned generally have the consistency of a cream cheese?
