Description
Use this creamy cashew cheese like soft, fresh mozzarella, whether on pizza or sandwiches. To make an allergy-friendly mozz, substitute sunflower seeds for the cashews. The mixture won’t be as smooth, but it will still taste delicious!

- 1/2 cup raw cashew pieces, soaked in water for 4 to 8 hours
- 2-3 tsps nutritional yeast

- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sauerkraut juice

Instructions
- Drain the cashews and place in a blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
