10+ Vegan Cheese Recipes

Craving Cheese? In this post, you'll find recipes for vegan cheese sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, feta, cream cheese, and lots of cheesy dishes!

"I could never go vegan, I love cheese too much."

Me and almost everyone else before going vegan.

It's kind of funny, when I went vegan in 2012 there were NO vegan cheese options in the supermarkets. I had to make my own vegan cheese sauce with nutritional yeast, which was mind-blowing for that time.

Now, we are so spoiled with all the vegan cheese (feta, camembert, cheese slices for sandwiches, cheesy spreads, parmesan, grated cheese for pizza or lasagna, you name it...), and they do (for the most part) taste so much better than the early products.

So, while I love trying out ALL the vegan products, I also enjoy making my own kinds of cheeses.

There are a couple of reasons why you also should venture into making your own vegan cheeses:

• it's fun and satisfying!
• it's creative and you can add your own spins (cream cheese is nice, but have you tried adding olives and sun-dried tomatoes? You could also color every cheese pink by adding a splash of beet juice)
• homemade cheeses and much healthier than store-bought products (which are mostly based on oils)
• you are in charge of the ingredients, so you can know exactly what's in your cheese
• it's much cheaper (even though homemade cheese recipes often use nuts, but it's still so much cheaper to make your own)

So in this blog post, I want to share with you my favorite vegan cheese recipes and cheesy dishes.
