Blend for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. With the food processor running, gradually pour the milk mixture through the feed tube and into the cashew mixture. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the agar is dissolved. Combine the soy milk, agar, and oil in a heavy medium saucepan.Pulse 3 more times to blend in the spices. Add the nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt and garlic powder. Using the pulse button, finely grind the cashews in a food processor (do not allow the cashews to turn into a paste).So I’m pretty confident that it would melt in the oven for a few minutes on the “broil” setting.

As per my notes below (as well as reader’s comments), thing like truffle oil, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, apricots, walnuts and figs would work nicely. You may want to experiment with different flavors.I gently patted-down the cheese with a paper towel to remove the extra oil before serving. I lightly oiled the ramekins before filling them, and although I had to use a knife to gently lift them out, I think it was a good idea to do this.I left-out the white pepper and added a handful of chives to the last portion but otherwise I stuck to the recipe as-is.I poured the cashew mixture into the saucepan and stirred it vigorously for a minute or so rather than return the milk mixture to the food processor (because mine is tiny).So for this recipe, 1 cup agar flakes = 16 tbsp agar flakes = 16 tsp agar powder (I used 8 tsp agar powder since I was halving the recipe). Agar powder is much more concentrated than agar flakes so you only need about a third as much of it: 1 tsp agar powder = 1 tbsp agar flakes. The original vegan cheese recipe calls for agar flakes, not agar powder.I recommend using the halved recipe (at least for your first attempt). I halved the original vegan cheese recipe and it produced 3 small ramekins worth of cheese.
