Vegan Cassava Cheese

It has the same texture as buffalo mozzarella -- perfect over pizzas! Incredible!

 Ingredients:

1 ½ cup cassava, cooked and mashed
1 cup of the water in which you cooked the cassava (or normal water, if you don’t have
it anymore)
1 cup tapioca starch
1 tsp garlic powder
2 TBS Nutritional Yeast
Hymalaian salt, to taste (I used ½ tsp)
pepper, to taste
½ tsp of turmeric, (optional, for color)

Directions: 

THE CHEESEBALL FORMING

If you haven’t cooked cassava (I cooked for 20 min); do it and don’t forget to save 1 cup of the water. In a big bowl, mash the cooked cassava and add all the other ingredients. Mix them all and pour into a medium pan over medium/low heat. Cook for approx. 5 minutes, stirring all the time. It will quickly get harder and look like a “cheese ball”. Pour mix into oiled ramekins and store in the fridge, covered.
