The ingredients needed to make Easy Almond Cheese:
- Get 150 g whole almonds(1 +1/4 cups, or 1 + 3/4 cups ground almonds)

Steps to make Easy Almond Cheese:
- If using whole almonds, soak for 6 hours or overnight. Otherwise put almonds flakes or ground almonds in blender together with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and water.
- Blend until smooth, will take a few minutes. May add a little more water if too thick, one tablespoon at a time until mixture blends properly.
- When smooth and creamy, remove from blender and put in a small sieve lined with cheese cloth or strong kitchen roll that will not break when wet.
- Place sieve over a bowl to catch the excess water overnight in fridge.
- After the cheese has drained overnight, carefully invert it onto a lightly oiled baking sheet (removing cheese cloth or kitchen roll).
- Bake at 325F (165C) for 20 to 30 minutes for a just set spreadable cheese or 350F (180C) for 30 to 40 minutes for a more set, more crumbly yet still creamy cheese. Will turn browner in colour.
- After cooling, place in airtight container and store in fridge. It will firm up after chilling.
- If using ground almonds this speeds up the process as there is no need to soak the almonds overnight. Can add Nutritional Yeast or cashews. No need to bake if the cream cheese obtained following blending is preferred.
This creamy almond cheese is rich and salty, lemony, and a little sharp tasting from the garlic. Almonds don't blend as smooth as cashews do, but that's actually perfect in this style of cheese. It's still a very creamy cheese, and that little bit of texture makes the cheese have a lovely crumbly affect.
