How to make mozzarella at home with vegan ingredients

You can try this DIY mozzarella at home! It’s completely vegan. It will taste so much like the original. And it will melt into cheesy goodness, just like mozza. For this homemade mozzarella recipe you need:

• 1 cup of raw cashew nuts
• 2 1/2 cups of water
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 
• 8 tablespoons of tapioca starch
  
• 1 tablespoon of salt

You need to bring water to the boil and soak the cashews in it. Letting them soak up the water for at least one hour will make your cheese softer and the nuts easily absorbed. After that, drain them and blend them with the water quantity mentioned above (not the water used for soaking) and the other ingredients. 

Mix thoroughly and keep scraping the sides. You’ll get a liquid, watery mixture. Pour the content into a saucepan and bring the heat to medium. Make sure to stir since the mix will get clumpy in a couple of minutes. 

Continue stirring until the liquid will turn stretchy, gooey, silky-smooth, and thick. When this happens, remove it from the heat source. Use it immediately or store it in the fridge. Extra info: when stored in the fridge, the vegan cheese will be less stringy and melty. This vegan mozzarella is ideal as a pizza or pasta topping. It can also be used in chicken parm and any other recipe requiring mozzarella.

 

What is a healthy substitute for mozzarella cheese?

• Nonfat or part-skim variants of mozzarella can work. If you want to cut down on saturated fats, which mozza packs a little, you can go for a healthier version. Switching to nonfat mozzarella made from skim milk can be a good option. And yes, you can always use light mozzarella in recipes that call for the usual type of the Italian cheese.
• Tofu is another healthier option for mozzarella. You can always mix the two, to get less fat and a similar nutritional profile. 

Mozzarella is one of the most popular cheeses out there. Be it fresh or dry, mozza can be added to any dish! Still, you have to agree with us: there are so many mozzarella substitutes you can try, if necessary.
