Nut Cheese - A Day in the Life of Fermenting!

Almond Nut Cheese


Ingredients:

2 Cups of Raw Almonds
1Cup of Spring or Filtered Water
2 Capsules live probiotics


Directions:

1.   Soak your nuts overnight in a salt/water liquid that is filled about the nuts.
2.   Cover and let sit overnight.
3.   The next day, you need to dehull the skin off.
4.   Once you have all your almonds delude, add to your Vita-Mix or high speed mixer. 
5.   Add 2 capsules of live probiotics by opening up the capsules and pouring in.
6.   Add 1 cup of filtered or spring water to the nut mixture.
7.   Blend until creamy.
8.   Pour into a cheesecloth that is sitting a either a colander or strawberry/tomato basket so
      it can drain.
9.   Let sit on counter top for approximately 12 hours to ferment, then transfer to the
      refrigerator to sit for another 8 - 12 hours to set.
10. Unwrap your Almond nut cheese and enjoy!











This ferment began in my kitchen on September 13th and we were eating it on September 16th.  This is definitely one recipe I'm going to have to play with.  It turned out perfectly according to following directions with taste and consistency but I would like to try other nuts and add flavors.  Not my favorite, but experimenting with nut cheese may bring me back around to enjoying it.
