Ingredients
1 cup water1/4 cup nutritional yeast2 tbl cornstarch1 tbl flour1 tsp lemon juice1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp garlic granules1 tbl canola oil2 tbl water**optional** 4 tsp. calcium carbonate
Directions
Place all ingredients except the oil in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken, then let it bubble for 30 seconds, whisking vigorously. Whisk in the oil and 2 tablespoons of water.

Drizzle immediately over pizza or other food and broil or bake until a skin forms on the top. Alternatively, refrigerate in a small, covered plastic container for up to a week. It will become quite firm when chilled but will remain spreadable. You can heat it to spread more thinly.

The optional calcium carbonate powder gives 2 tablespoons of the cheeze about the same amount of calcium as 1 ounce of dairy cheese.

The oil is optional but helps the cheeze melt better. It can be left out.

Serving size is 1/4 cup.

    I was searching for a nut free vegan cheez and this fit the bill. Low in calories too and so tasty! I substituted arrow root starch for the corn starch and coconut flour for the all purpose flour and it turned fine. I served it warm as a cracker/vegetable dip. Love it! - 6/17/15
