INGREDIENTS:
- 100g Original or Turmeric & Ginger Pili Nuts
- 1/2 ts Himalayan Pink Salt

- Soak the pili nuts for about 3-8 hours then drain and rinse the water.
- In a high speed blender blend the nuts with water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, dried shiitake powder and coconut oil.
- Use muslin cloth or a clean piece of cotton to strain our mixture.
- Transfer to a bowl of your choice, preferably something round to get that cheese shape and put it in the fridge for at least 5 hours or until the coconut oil hardens and makes the cheese get firm.
- You can decorate it with some herbs of your choice. We used some thyme and provencal herb mix.
