more than 600 delicious vegan and vegetarian recipes for a better world
We found this delicious recipe posted by Sharon123 on Food.com. It was our first venture in making a solid homemade cheese alternative. It was delicious and we enjoyed it very much, but we considered more of a vegan mozzarella style cheese.
Because of the mild flavor and its consistency it seemed much more like mozzarella. Which is really really great, because now we can enjoy one of our favorite appetizers the Caprese Salad. We have so missed having this delicious salad and now we can have it again.
The recipe makes two “wheels”. We used our homemade soy milk for the recipe and some ground almonds for the “crust”. We enjoyed the first wheel with a wonderful fresh French baguette, homemade rhubarb-cherry chutney and of course a nice red wine.
That was delicious. It was while we were enjoying that first wheel that we came up with the idea of using it for the Caprese Salad. I must admit tonight we tasted a bit of heaven enjoying the second wheel used as mozzarella, with fresh tomatoes a basil leaf and some really fine virgin olive oil. It’s very easy to make the “vegan brie” recipe, we hope you give it a try and enjoy it.

Ooh yes please! I like the sound and look of this very much:)
Hi Pea Soup,
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I must admit cheese is one thing we do miss as vegans. We have recently been able to get Cheezly, but only 1 variety- the Edam. Otherwise, I make our cheese alternatives from scratch. This was a very ice recipe. We especially enjoyed the Caprice salad. We also bade a nice vegan blue cheese last weekend and have been enjoying it this week We will be posting some recipes with it also, keep checking back. And meanwhile, other yummy recipes will be posted as well. We usually alternate a main meal, a soup, a salad and a dessert. So there is always a lot to choose from. Hope ou try the recipe and enjoy it as much as we did. Sincerely
This sounds lovely. I have only made one hard vegan cheese and it was a “colby” variety. There are a lot of similarities between these two recipes. I highly recommend you try this one, it is delectable!

Hi Sarah,
so we continue trying out various ways to get that cheese-y affect in a non dairy way. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment and the link to the recipe. I will give it a try. Cheese is the one thing we do miss about being vegan. But, we don’t miss it enough to go back.
