Vegan Cheddar Cheese (GF)

A great gluten-free cheese topping, or to make Mac & cheese.

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

2 tsp sea salt

3 Tbsp tapocia starch (flour)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp liquid smoke

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

pinch turmeric


Add milk, agar, vinegar and salt to pan.

Combine and boil for 2-3 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients – whisking constantly.

Boil gently for 15 minutes- continuing to whisk constantly.

Remove from pan and pour into a greased or parchment-paper lined loaf pan, and refrigerate.
