Grateable Vegan Fake Cheese

Incorporate into:

• 2 cups of unsweetened oat milk,

either :

• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened plain vegan yogurt, Or
• 1 probiotic capsule (5–10 billion CFU).

Let it rest, lightly covered, at room temperature for 8–24 hours, until the mixture is slightly acidic.

Mix the fermented oat milk with:

• ⅓ cup of refined coconut oil, melted,
• 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch,
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch,
• 3 tablespoons of agar powder (not the snowflakes),
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt,
• 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast,
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice,
• ½ tsp white miso, And
• ⅛ tsp of annatto or turmeric powder (optional, for color).

Mix until completely smooth. Pour into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick, glossy, and elastic. Let it simmer gently for 1–2 minutes to activate the agar.

Pour into a lightly oiled container, smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) until the cheese is firm enough to be grated.
