Now made this cheese and used it with pasta. Looking at it it looked just as mac n cheese originally does. Tasted amazing . I tweeked a few things as I am from the caribbean and love certain spices and herbs but it was great. I DONT THINK MY HUSBAND EVEN KNEW HE WAS EATING CHEESE. He Doesnt like peas or veg but i he ate everything and didnt even ask what cheese I used.

Hey FYI. I tired the recipe but my chickpeas were peeled and I think it gave a slightly grainy taste. Do you think the peels made a difference ?

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

@@misspopulaire Usually if you remove the peels, it actually makes it smoother! Sometimes beans can give these sauces a bit of a grainy texture overall. It’s just the nature of using beans. However, I’ve found that if I cook my own chickpeas I can cook them a bit longer (around 48 mins. in the instant pot) and that can alleviate some of the graininess.

@LetsEatPlants 4 года назад

I am the same way to be honest! The potato sauce is hit or miss for me too... I do sometimes like it when it’s potatoes & cashews combined, but sometimes the potatoes make it too starchy! I think this one is a pretty good dupe for a cashew-based cheese.. but less fat & less expensive too!

I would add the miso at the end after turning the heat off. One of the main reasons to eat miso is the probiotic, its aliveness. The full on heat of boiling it would damage the probiotic aspect. Maybe use less of the salty chicken broth also?

If not using tapioca starch, you can use corn starch or flour. I'd recommend 1tbsp. Also I'd use a bit less miso paste than the 2 tbsp used here unless you like it very very salty. I use 1 tbsp.

That being said, if you've tried a few or you're sure you just don't like it you could go ahead and try this sauce without it.

You can leave them out if you wish! The tapioca is for “stretchiness”, definitely not essential for a cheeze sauce, and the miso is for salty/umami flavor, so it could be subbed with more nutritional yeast, broth paste or salt. 😊😊 I make this sauce often without either and it’s still great!

Chickpeas also contain manganese, vitamin B9, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, thiamine, vitamin B6, selenium and potassium. Did I mention I’m a chickpea fan? Lol I guess I’m not in the vegan Cool Club because I’m not as much a fan of nooch as many others are. It doesn’t taste bad, it just has a mild flavor and for me comparing it to cheese is a bit of a stretch. Still, I use it quite a bit. Thanks for your excellent tutorial!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Haha love this!! 😃😃🙌🏼🙌🏼 Chickpeas *are* awesome! Nooch might be an acquired taste.. but I do know some people who just don’t like it. 😄 You could always try leaving it out and adding a bit more miso to compensate. 🤩 And you’re welcome, glad you enjoyed!

I can’t eat Nooch cheese. Would it work without it? Great receipes. Thanks.

@LetsEatPlants 7 месяцев назад

It definitely works but in terms of taste it won’t be quite the same. 😢 The white miso paste does give it a bit of cheesiness, but the nooch really takes it to the more cheesy level. That being said, you could def give it a go without it and see how you like it!

@jenniferturner7293 4 года назад

Definitely wanting to try this! My family is missing cheese. Have you tried the potato version of vegan cheese? Just wondering how they compare.

@LetsEatPlants 4 года назад

Definitely give it a try! I have made a potato based version... but those are always hit or miss for me. I sometimes find them too starchy tasting. The best I had found before this was a potato, carrot & cashew combo which is pretty good as well... but I’m really liking that this is so low in fat since it doesn’t need cashews! I don’t think it will fool any cheese connoisseurs, but for me it does fill the cheese void. 😄 I also suggest playing around with the seasonings a bit if needed, to adjust to your family’s tastes. 😋 Enjoy!

What setting do you use on the instant pot for the chickpeas. Or how much time? Mine alway come out soggy and mushy, not firm or keep their shape.

I use the high pressure setting for 45-46 mins and then natural release. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wc9ca7CW1Eo.html (I usually do 46 minutes these days, so the chickpeas blend more smoothly.)

Can u freeze and and make it lake block cheese and have u made a cheesecake with chickpeas

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Wow! 2 great questions!!! I haven’t tried either ... I imagine it would freeze ok, especially if you plan to reheat it once it’s defrosted, but I can’t say for 100% sure! That’s just my guess. 😅 If you want it to be more like block cheese, you actually don’t need to freeze it, you would have to use a solidifying agent that firms in the refrigerator. A popular one for vegans is agar agar powder! I should play around with some formulas and see if I can get this to form into a block that you can grate/ shred. Great idea! A cheesecake with chickpeas is another great idea! I will have to experiment a bit and see if it’s possible. 🤔🤔 I will work on it! Thank you for the ideas!

What can you use instead of miso? We need to avoid sodium here for my mom.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Good question! You can definitely leave it out. It might not have as much “umami” flavor and usually I tell people to replace that with salt, but in your case you could probably just leave it out altogether. Or add a bit of extra nutritional yeast instead. 😊 Just another thought I had,.. not sure your reason for avoiding sodium but here is a very interesting article from Dr. Greger regarding miso & sodium: nutritionfacts.org/2020/04/14/what-about-the-sodium-in-miso/

@hetalsundarjee8298 3 года назад

Are the chick peas boiled? Or just soaked in water overnight? Can we do without onion and garlic powder? Can miso paste and veg broth be replaced by water and salt?

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Yes! The chickpeas were cooked in the instant pot, or you can use boiled or store-bought (from a can) as well. But definitely cooked first! You can do without the onion/garlic powder and miso paste and veg broth... but the more you alter the recipe, the results may change as well. I find that the star of the seasonings is really the nutritional yeast as that is what gives it the "cheesy" flavor. The onion/garlic powders give it an extra flavor boost and the miso paste and veg. broth are for umami/saltiness. Of course feel free to play around with the recipe with what you have and see how you like it. 😊😊

@dianem3012 Год назад

Thank you for this recipe! I make my own chickpeas in the instapot too. Is there a specific amount of water to chickpea ratio to use in order to create an aquafaba? I always drain it and throw it away.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

You’re welcome Diane! Great question. I always cook beans in the instant pot with a 1:3 ratio (beans:water) so when making aquafaba I stick carefully to that ratio and don’t go over on the water at all. (So exactly 1 cup beans, 3 cups water for example.) Otherwise I just eyeball the water and the aquafaba isn’t as concentrated. 😝

Can you use Zanthiun gum instead of tapioca starch

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

I haven’t tried that! I don’t think it would give the same effect, as the tapioca starch gives it a “stretchy/ stringy” quality when melted, similar to melted cheese. If you wanted to sub for another thickener, I would recommend cornstarch or arrowroot powder.. but they won’t give the stretchy quality. Granted, I’m not very familiar with xanthan gum.. so if you think that is a good thickener you could give it a try. 😄

@jerzeys2finest89 Год назад

Hello do you have to use white miso paste? If yes, do you know a cheap alternative to it?

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

You don't need to use white miso paste, you could use red miso, but the flavor is stronger so try it with less first. If you don't have access to miso paste you can leave it out and try adding a bit more salt or nutritional yeast. Basically the miso is for saltiness, so taste it without and adjust with more salt or nutritional yeast only if needed. 😊😊

@gailmoore833 Год назад

What could I substitute the miso paste with that acts the same way?

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Good question! It’s mainly for salty flavor so you could add additional nutritional yeast or even just a bit of extra salt instead. My suggestion would be to taste the mixture without the miso and without adding any additional ingredients at first. If you don’t think it’s salty enough, add a pinch more salt. If you don’t think it’s “cheesy” enough, add 1 TBL more nutritional yeast. 😊
