Sharon on 2025-01-26 (5 stars): I found this recipe about a year or so ago. I have had it on regular rotation since. I love it. I like the saltiness of it and the way it mimics melted mozzarella. I use it on lasagnas, pizzas, moussaka and more. I really like the simple ingredients and that it doesn’t contain the starches and fillers of a the ready-made vegan cheeses. Thank you so much for this recipe. It is great!
