Ingredients
-
2 cups raw almonds
-
1 cup water, may need more
-
1/4 tsp probiotic powder
Directions
- Soak the almonds in hot water for 5 minutes, so you can pop the skins off.
- Put the almonds, water and probiotic powder in the blender and mix, adding more water if necessary to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
- Get a strainer (a plastic berry basket works great) and line it with cheesecloth, allowing several inches of the cloth to drape down around the sides. Set the strainer on top of a shallow baking dish, and pour the mix into the cheesecloth. The baking dish will catch the liquid as it drains from the cheese.
- Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top of the cheese and place it in a warm location to ferment for 8-12 hours. Taste test at this point, if you want the cheese flavor stronger, continue the fermenting process up to 24, 48 or even 72 hours.
- After about 2 hours of fermenting place a weight on top of the cheese to help press out more of the excess liquid.
- After the cheese has fermented to suit your taste, season it to your liking and store in a sealed glass container in the fridge for up to one week.
Tips
- You can add some flavors and spices, making it perfect for you palate and needs.
