Make a Vegan Cheez that is better than any you've ever tried.
OK that's easy - I've only tried one and that was a Chedda Cheez variation of the Colby Cheez recipe from the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook that I saw here.
BUT should you accept this mission the Cheez MUST:
a. Taste like cheese
b. Melt like cheese
OK I think I've got the first one covered. Whilst Mr. Treehugger was chowing down on some of my Besto Pesto he turned to me and said "Damn that really tastes cheesy - you sure it's Vegan?"
And you know what - he was right. It does taste cheesy, very cheesy.
So my Vegan Cheez simply must include a whole load of Besto Pesto.
Check!
Now the second requirement's a bit more tricky. I'm sure Vegan Cheez professionals have tested and tested ways to make a melty vegan Cheez, and from reviews and chatting to PPK'ers it seems that the perfect melting Cheez is somewhat harder to achieve.
Well I do love a good challenge so I donned my apron, grabbed my spatula and set about the kitchen on a Cheez making extravaganza.
The Result:
TaDa!
The melting test
The Verdict
Whilst it looked like a Mozzarella type Cheese it had a Cheddary type taste and it did melt - it melted beautifully and tasted good on toast. But there is room for improvement so I will stick with it before I divulge the recipe.
