Ingredients
Materials
- 2 sheets gauze
- 1 colander
- 1 salad bowl
- 1 bowl
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Place a colander in a bowl. Make sure there's enough space between the colander and the bowl to allow the mixture to drain properly.
- Unfold the gauze sheets and pour in the yogurt mixture. Place in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Once this time has elapsed, your preparation has given off water and is therefore less liquid: it's your vegetable cheese!
- Place in a ramekin, mix and taste. Adjust the flavors if necessary, add a little chopped chives to finish and serve!
Observations
How long can I keep this vegan cheese?
You can keep it for 4 days in an airtight box in the fridge.
Can I use other plant-based yogurts?
Unfortunately not, as soy milk is the only one that has the ability to "curdle" like animal milk yogurts.
Can this recipe be made with animal-milk yoghurts?
Yes, without any problem!
Does this recipe taste like soy yogurt?
Not at all! Thanks to the addition of lemon!
How can I flavour my vegan cheese?
You can add shallots, or replace the chives with parsley, for example.
