Creamy Vegan Soy Cheese Tutorial
For the vegan soy cheese you will need a good blender. I prefer a Vita-Mix (who doesn’t),but any good blender will do.
Add 2 cups of soy milk
Next,get your ducks in a row:
What we have:
- 3/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/4 of a lemon
- To take the cheese to another taste dimension &you like a little spice in your life like me,add 1 jalapeno
Add these ingredients into the blender with 1/2 tsp of sea salt:
Now,the fun part…pour 1 cup of vegetable oil in a separate cup and keep at the ready. As you blend the milk and ingredients together,you will slowly pour the oil in. Watch,as I demonstrate…
Get Ready!
Start blending milk and ingredients. Start on a low speed and increase to high. Note:For this demonstration,the lid is off the blender. I do not recommend this for you…I’d hate to see all this yummy cheese on your cabinets and your finest kitchen outfit! Most blenders have a two part lid. Start with your complete lid on and then remove the center piece before you add the oil.
Two part blender lid
Center piece removed
You will pour oil through this center opening
I started my blending with the lid on and took off for this demonstration.
Ingredients mixed,all in harmony
Now that the milk,nutritional yeast and others are all happily liquefied,let’s add the 1 cup of vegetable oil. Begin pouring the oil SLOWLY in the center funnel.
Remember,pour the oil slowly,slowly,slowly and watch the magic…
Looking good...keep going
Almost there...keep on target
Center is closing...little bit longer
Yes,victory is ours!
Great job,the center funnel has closed and voilah! You have creamy soy cheese!!
You can use this style of cheese as a dip,mixed w/ noodles for great mac &cheese,or pour on top of your homemade pizza.

Hi I tried this to put on my pizza but it didn’t work,stayed completely liquid (I did use a Vitamix). I followed the instruction closely,except that I halved the recipe because I didn’t want 3 cups of it. Do you think that makes a difference? Any other suggestions? Could it be the milk? I used store bought unsweetened soymilk. It did taste unbelieveably delicious though.
Thanks,Ruth
I used this to make little bagel pizzas (I like to have stuff I can easily throw in a tupperware and bring to work for lunch the next day) and oh man–it is delicious! I’m a new vegan and still getting used to noochy cheese,but once I got used to the tang after the first bite,I am so satisfied. It is pretty liquidy,though. I might try adding a little something to thicken it next time for pizzas,though I LOVE the idea of using it in a dip setting. Thanks for putting this up here!

Does this taste like cheese? I’m contemplating veganism and…well…I love my cheese!
I would say that it tastes cheesy. I have not had cow’s milk cheese in a really,really long time. Most people who have tried this recipe,enjoy the flavor.
