Method

All you have to do is add all cashew cheese ingredients into a good blender and blend until you get a very smooth consistency.

Then pour the mixture into a pan and heat up. Make sure you stir constantly. After a few minutes, it will change texture and turn into a thick paste.

Transfer the paste into a tupperware dish and even out so it’s neatly packed into the dish.

Let set in the fridge for 1 hour or until it has completely cooled down.

Then sprinkle some herbs de Provence on a plate. Coat the cheese on all sides. Enjoy!

Yes, that was it already, so simple!!
