This recipe uses aquafaba. That’s just a culinary term for the cooking water of chickpeas and other legumes. Just save the water from your next can of chickpeas or white beans and that’s aquafaba! Learn more about aquafaba here:

What in the recipe allows it to melt?
Eep! I just made this, I’m amazed! I NEVER thought I’d be able to get that
squidgy texture or light acidity of real cheese, but this is amazing! It’s
like the first time I tried seitan (I’m very particular about textures).
Carageenen ftw, I’m not a fan of agar agar – it tastes weird and the
texture is odd. One issue though – the oil started to separate after the
lumps had gone. I didn’t really measure the aquafaba out, I just used a
can. Do you think there wasn’t enough to emulsify fully? The end result was
still amazing though, the lactic acid really did the trick flavour-wise!
Refined coconut oil seems surprisingly hard to come by where I live, so I
used unrefined – the flavour works surprisingly well!
Is there anything else besides carrageenan or agar agar that would provide
hardness to the cheese? I have acid reflux, and after reading this article,
I was a little worried:
I’m not vegan at all, but this cheese is a must try even if you’re not a
vegan, it just tastes amazing
how long do u think this would keep in the fridge? :)
Wow this looks so yummy. I’m going to make this soon.???
This tastes amazing!!!!!
When I heat it up in the pan the coconut oil separated from the mix though
and in the end it looked nothing like yours 🙁
Was it because I used agar agar? If not, what went wrong?
