Ingredients:
vegan mozzarella:
- 200 ml water
- 60 g cashew nuts
- 2 tbsp ground psyllium
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- salt, pepper
Tomato sauce:

Directions:
- For the mozzarella, stir ground psyllium into the water and let swell for about 2 hours.
- Soak cashews in water for about 2 hours (or overnight) and pour off afterwards.
- Then blend swoolen psyllium with cashews, lemon juice and nutritional yeast for 1-2 minutes in a blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Now fill the mixture into a bowl or form of choice (for mini mozzarella balls you can use a ice cube tray) and put it in the fridge for about 2 hours to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 220 degrees.
- Put the pizza-dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Prepare the toppings and combine all ingredients for the tomato sauce.
- Then spread the toppings over the pizza and bake for about 10 minutes more until crunchy and the cheese is melted.
- Enjoy!

Hi Bianca, I love your blog – so many great ideas and visually so beautiful.
I had to stop eating milk products a while ago but I love cheese…so I have been missing it a lot. Especially our pizza nights are difficult as pizza without nice cheesy mozzarella does not taste the same. So, I am about to taste your recipe. I am surprised that on your pics it looks really so mozzarella like and white. How do you get it so white? the psyllium I have is slightly beige as are cashews….
I hope it turns out well and smelts as well 😉
Will give it a go!
Warmest wishes,
Eve
Hi Eve,
Thank you so much for your wonderful words!
I am so glad you love my blog and recipes! 🙂
Yes, the psyllium can make the color slightly beige.

Thank you so much, Bianka. This recipe of vegan mozzarella is so good. The texture looks great, like mozzarella. Thank you for that new experience
So glad that you liked it too! Thank you so much <3
Hi Bianca, I’m a big fan of your work!
I had the opportunity to make the cashew mozzarella cheese, but it didn’t turn out as expected… is the amount of psyllium husk correct?
Thanks for your hard work and bid heart,
Sincerely yours,
Emily
Hi Emily,
Thank you! ?
Yes, the amount is correct. I make this vegan mozzarella so often and it never fails. Did you make the recipe exactly according instructions?
Much love,
Bianca
