👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the cashews in water for 2 to 3 hours, then drain and blend them with the plant-based drink and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Push the mixture towards the blades several times, and when it becomes smooth and creamy, add the rest of the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture into a thick-bottomed non-stick pan and cook, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until it becomes more compact and forms a malleable ball.

  4. 4

    You can leave it plain or add chili, chopped nuts, pepper, truffle aroma, or any other ingredients at this stage. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then place the caciotta in an oiled glass container with a lid.

    Keep the caciotta in the fridge for 1-2 days before decorating it as desired and serving. It lasts for 10-12 days.
