This vegan cheese makes any dish pop from tostadas to pasta, and it is super easy to make. If you don’t have a food processor, use your blender and pulse it until desired consistency is reached. You will need to scrape the sides down often in a blender to make sure you get all the bits. It will take a little extra time, but you will get to the parmesan-crumble consistency eventually—and it will be well worth it, promise.
Tip
Reuse a nutritional yeast shaker with a lid (just like a traditional Parmesan cheese shaker). Keep on hand as a staple in the refrigerator to use for soups, salads, and entrees when needed. Blanched almonds are almonds with the dark skins removed. You can buy them blanched already or boil them for 60 seconds and then run under cool water. The skins will be loose and you can pop the almonds out of the skin yourself. I personally loathe blanching almonds and buy them already blanched.
