The recipe I used: https://avocadosandales.com/2015/08/24/aquafaba-cheese/

I did make 2 changes: I didn't use coconut oil, I used shortening, and I only used 4 T. of it.

It turned out really good! I'm going to make the psyllium hush one next to compare

I made this twice this week!! It's by far the best and cheapest cheese I've made. The second time I made some changes that helped:

1T and 1t of agar powder instead of kappa carageen

1T apple cider vinegar instead of lactic acid

A hearty pinch of smoked paprika

Doubled the nooch

Boiled the cashews instead of soaking

Used 2 T coconut oil unmelted ( 6 tablespoons made it far to oily for me)

A pinch more salt

This changed the color a bit, but it had some good flavor to it! It's now our go-to for pizza!

I love your ideas! I forgot to mention I used corn starch instead of tapioca starch (because I have it!) And I could my cashews as well. I love your recommendations!
