Easy Nut-Free Vegan Mozzarella Cheese

I have been looking for a melty, stretchy, vegan nut-free mozzarella cheese, so I made this Easy Nut-Free Vegan Mozzarella Cheese. Are you Missing cheese? Want it nut-free? Oh, and easy to make? this recipe is for you!

Let me first say that for vegans, there are so many more options now than ever before.
There are multiple tasty options at stores. But, most of them have oil in them, and I try not to consume oil. That’s why I made my own.

Additionally, many are cashew-based. I have no problem with nuts but a lot of recipes, and vegan cheeses are based on nuts, so I tried to think outside the box.

In response to all of this, I challenged myself to make a tasty, stretchy, melty, oil-free, nut-free, mozzarella sauce. Anddd….t was ridiculously easy!

So what’s the secret ingredient? – Tofu!
Why not? It’s white, its protein-packed, it can be made gooey, and with a little cooking – it can become stretchy!

Tools for this recipe:

You’ll only need a blender or a food processor a saucepan, and a stove to make this Vegan  Mozzarella Cheese. After blending, you’ll be cooking it on the stovetop for just around 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. ( won’t need the gym after that )
