How do you make a vegan cheese ball?
It’s actually super easy! I’ve made things as simple as possible. First, you have to soak your cashews in hot water for 5 minutes. I do this by warming up water in my tea kettle, then pouring the hot water over the cashews in a bowl. Drain them, and add them to a food processor along with the lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and dill. Blend until smooth, then add the vegan cream cheese (this adds even more creamy, cheesy deliciousness). Blend again until smooth and creamy. Using a spatula, scoop all of the cheese into a bowl lined with a tea towel. *This post contains affiliate links. I only recommend products I use and love. Thank you for your support!
Gather the corners of the towel, and twist gently around the cheese to form a ball. Place it like this in the refrigerator to chill for 4-6 hours, or overnight. The cheese hardens considerably in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, unwrap the cheese. It will be hardened and look something like this:
Gently roll it in the chopped pecans until coated with the nuts.
Serve with crackers and/or vegetable sticks. I hope you LOVE this vegan cheese ball! It’s:
