Prepare a cheese mold by lightly oiling a smooth glass container.
Pour all of the ingredients except for the water and miso into a medium-sized saucepan.
Stir the ingredients, then turn the heat to medium.
Cook your cheese sauce over low heat for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. (It needs to boil for 6 minutes to fully melt and activate the agar agar.)
Mix the miso and water until the miso is dissolved completely. Pour the mixture into the cheese sauce.
Stir the cheese sauce until the miso is incorporated.
Pour the cheese into the chosen mold.
Cool for about 15 minutes on the countertop, then cover and refrigerate for 2-3 more hours, until it cools and sets completely.

Alicia on 2026-04-11 (5 stars): The flavour of this cheese is absolutely awesome even though I forgot to purchase a lemon for the juice.
The only thing I will say is that part of instructions 3 and 4 are missing. Number 3 says 't to medium' and number 4 'd to activate the agar agar).'
I highly recommend the recipe.
Thank you.
joe on 2025-10-28 (5 stars): Hello I made this and liked it but I would like it a bit firmer. What can I do?
Bernhard on 2025-01-27 (5 stars): Dear Monica, I more or less stumbled upon your site by chance today and wasn´t able to leave for hours and hours... everything around here just looks so fantastic! I have never really cared much about vegan food until today, but you managed to change this completely. I wish I could drive home and cook at least a dozen of your yummy ideas this very evening.
But I certainly must go shopping and source a few of the less obvious ingredients online first. Chances are that I may start with this vegan Cheddar, the recipe is just so stunning. Thank you so much to maintain such a beautiful and carefully edited website, even without tons of commercials!
BTW, I have read your huffpost article about your son and was instantly thrilled. My son had a very, very similar story except that it wasn´t PANDAS or PANS and IVIG didn´t help at all. After three years of suffering we finally found a cure, but these years were devastatingly intense, so I can feel what you went through. So glad your son recovered! Thank you very much, dear Monica!
Leslie E Shuster on 2024-07-25 (5 stars): I would like to 1st say I am not Vegan, I made this for my husband and I have to say it is amazing I will use this for myself as well that is how great it is so Thank you for that :)
What Agar agar do you recommend? Also how long will it keep in the fridge and how long if frozen?
