- Vegan Mozzarella Cheese–adapted from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken
1/2 cup cashews
1 cup water
3 Tbsp Tapioca Powder
1 Tbsp (heaping) Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp GF Flour
- Dry Ingredients
1 cup crushed tortilla chips (I used a blender to make them super fine)
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
- Wet Ingredients
1/4 cup Unsweetened Plant milk
2 Tbsp GF Flour
1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
Floydy Pants Ranch Dressing for dipping
Directions
- Vegan Mozzarella Cheese
- Add all ingredients to blender. If you do not have a high speed blender you may need to soak cashews overnight. Once mixture is smooth, pour into a pan and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly. Cheese will start to coagulate and then will form a smooth stretchy texture.
- Pour cheese into an 8×8 pan and flatten across the bottom. Freeze for a half hour.
- Meanwhile prepare wet ingredients by mixing all together
- Prepare Dry ingredients by mixing all together
- Creating the Mozzarella Sticks
- Remove cheese from the freezer and slice in 1.5″ slices and then slice down the middle the opposite way. Use a spatula to pop each mozzarella stick up. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp of gf flour, turn over and sprinkle with other half of gluten free flour.
- Lift each individual stick out of tray and dip in wet mixture. While dipping you can kind of form into a better mozzarella stick shape.
- Roll in dry mixture and coat until completely covered
- Layer in one layer in air fryer.
- Cook on air fryer setting for 10 minutes.
- Dip in Floydy Pants Ranch! Enjoy!
