Nyemba Cheese

Ingredients

  • 2 cups nyemba milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoon agar agar powder or 6 tablespoon agar agar flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca starch

Instructions

  1. Prepare a cheese mould by spraying a smooth glass container with a little oil.
  2. Pour all of the ingredients into a medium-sized saucepan.
  3. Stir the ingredients and turn on the heat to medium.
  4. Cook your cheese sauce until it has slowly boiled for 6 minutes while stirring frequently. (It needs to boil for 6 minutes to fully melt and activate the agar agar).
  5. Pour the cheese into the chosen mould.
  6. Cool for about 15 minutes on the countertop and then put it in the refrigerator uncovered for 2 more hours until it cools and sets completely.
  7. Serve or put in a sealed container in the fridge for later.

Recipe Notes

  • Agar Agar is a vegetable gelatine that makes the cheese hard. It is optional if you intent to use the cheese as a sauce
  • Tapioca starch will make the cheese meltable, if this is not a concern for you skip it.
