Firm Vegan Cheddar Cheese with a rice base flavoured with garlic, onion, mustard and a hint of lemon and turmeric.

Savour some non-melty cheese that’ll have you at ease. And, gorge.

This dish will topple your belief that vegan food can’t be simple to make.

Make this:

  • When going to the shops is not an option and rustling up your own money saving vegan cheese is
  • When your kiddies need a hearty lunch packed with cheese that’s packed with flavour and leaves them satisfied
  • When you just can’t be fagged to reach for anything but a bit cheese, tomato and bread and lounge in front of the laptop and salivate over my recipes (it got your attention..)

Vegan Cheddar Cheese made with rice as its base was inspired through boredom with using nut and wanting to create a cheese that saves on the pennies leaving your pocket slightly heavier.  Making your own cheese means you are in control of what goes into your body – instead of processed, you get to flavour a cheese.  This cheese is also slightly springy and that is due to the Irish Moss which gives this dish a lift.

Vegan Cheddar Cheese is one of my signature dishes. Keep this Cheese in sealed containers in the fridge.

Rice is high in carbohydrates providing energy for the body.

This Cheese is paleo and gluten-free.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.

Hi Edward! Do you think this could be made without Irish Moss? I have psyllium but not sure it would help…

Try it with psyllium husk. I encourage experimentation. Psyllium will certainly give a bounce to the dish. You do need a little extra otherwise, the cheese becomes too hard. Hope that helps….
