Nutty Parmesan Cheese

Making your own plant-based cheese couldn’t be easier! Cashew or Brazil nuts are perfect for this recipe as they’re milder in flavour compared to other nuts, their creamy nature gives a great texture to this cheese alternative. Similar to Italian parmesan cheese, this version is tasty sprinkled over pasta, risotto, lasagne or gnocchi and adds texture as a topping.
