Made with a base of cooked rice and a variety of spices and seasonings, this cheese alternative is perfect for topping pizzas, making grilled cheese sandwiches, or simply snacking on with crackers.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this vegan rice cheese recipe is about 15 minutes, including the time it takes to cook the rice.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is about 10 minutes, plus an additional 30 minutes for the cheese to firm up in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 cup water

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cheesecloth or nut milk bag

Method

  1. Combine the cooked brown rice, nutritional yeast, refined coconut oil, tapioca starch, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, mustard powder, and turmeric in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and the rice is broken down into small pieces.
  2. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and whisk in the water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and becomes stretchy. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
  3. Line a small dish or container with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Pour the cheese mixture into the lined container and smooth out the top. Cover with additional cheesecloth or a lid and place in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once the cheese is firm, remove it from the container and discard the cheesecloth or nut milk bag. Slice the cheese and use it as desired.

Recipe Tips

It's important to use refined coconut oil in this recipe, as unrefined coconut oil will have a strong coconut flavor that may overpower the other ingredients. You can find tapioca starch in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can try using an immersion blender or simply mashing the ingredients together with a fork or potato masher. Finally, be sure to let the cheese cool completely in the refrigerator before slicing and serving for the best texture.
