Vegan pizza with cashew cheese

  • SHARE
You could never live without cheese and now you don't have to.

This is one of my go to recipes when I am really craving some nice pizza and cheese even (it mostly happens on a hangover day, oh yes vegans get hungover). This pizza is so nice and comforting without using dairy or any animal products. Also it’s really quick and easy to prepare.

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180C.

For the vegan cheese put two handfuls of cashews (depending on your blender you might have to increase the quantity a bit for it to blend properly) into a small blender, add all other cheese ingredients and a bit of water - make sure you add just enough for it to become a smooth but thick paste. You might have to start with less water and add more water gradually. Blend until you have a smooth paste - you might have to add more salt (cashews are salt hungry) and more nutritional yeast for a cheesier taste. Set aside.


Take the vegan pizza dough, and spread tomato paste on it (cover it well), sprinkle a little bit of olive oil, some garlic/garlic powder and some oregano. Then add the vegan cheese to the topping. Slice tomatoes mushrooms and artichokes, cut onions into rings and add to the pizza.


Bake on a baking sheet or pizza tray for 8-10 minutes or until crisp. Serve with a nice green salad.
