Serves 2-4 people
The Goods:
1 cup soaked cashews
1 cup unsweetened cashew milk
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt with live cultures
1/2 cup melted refined coconut oil
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp tapioca flour
For the Topping:
1/2 cup persimmons, finely diced
20 pomegranate seeds
1 tbsp date syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
The Method:
In a high powered blender, add cashews, cashew milk, coconut yogurt, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend on high till smooth.
Transfer mixture into a small sauce pan, add tapioca flour and turn on heat to medium low. Cook for 6-8 minutes, while stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until the mixture starts to “turn”. It will begin as a liquid, and will slowly become glossy and thick after about 7 minutes or so. Once thick, remove from heat.
Pour cheese mixture into an oven safe baking dish that fits the cheese, cover, and refrigerate overnight or 6+ hours.
Once ready to eat, preheat oven to 350. Next grab a small mixing bowl, mix and add persimmons, pomegranate seeds, date syrup, and cinnamon together. Pour mixture creatively and beautifully over the top of the brie. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy immediately with toast points, crackers, and favorite cheese pairings!
