Ingredients

    53 grams Coconut Oil
    47 grams Almonds
    10 fl oz Water, tap
    10 gram South river chickpea miso
    45 grams Bob’s Red Mill Potato Starch
    0.5 tsp Morton’s Lite Salt
    1 tsp Kappa Carrageenan powder
    1 tsp Onion powder
    1.5 tsp Lactic Acid Powder

Tips

Don’t use commercial almond milk because it has additives that can interfere with the recipe.
The carrageenan must be heated to 175F to activate it.
Add the acid after the carrageenan is activated, because it inhibits it if added earlier.


Directions

Blanch almonds to remove skins.

In a high speed blender, make almond milk from 5 oz blanched almonds and 3.75 cups water. Don’t strain. Use 325 grams for this recipe. The rest will make 2 more batches of cheese. It will keep for about 1 week refrigerated.

Combine 325 grams almond milk with coconut oil, potato starch, carrageenan, onion powder, miso and lite salt in blender. Blend until thoroughly mixed.

Pour mixture into non stick skillet over medium heat. Stir with a rubber scraper until mixture is uniformly over 175F, to activate the carrageenan. Then mix in the lactic acid.

Remove from heat and immediately pour into a ceramic or glass bowl. Let cool 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 6 hours to completely firm it up.
