Recipe Directions
1. Blend macadamia nuts, lemon juice, pine nuts (or nutritional yeast), pepper, garlic, onion, and salt in blender till smooth (This makes a nice cheese sauce at this point).

3. Cool slightly. Add to blender and mix well.
4. Transfer to 1 1/2 cups mini loaf pan (line with food wrap if not flexible) and chill several hours or overnight till firm.
5. Unmold onto serving platter. Serve with your favorite crackers.
Evergreen's Thoughts
By evergreen A semi soft cheddar cheese.
For a totally raw cheese, omit agar and use Irish moss as stated in Queenfluffs's comments below. :)
Variation: Use a yellow pepper and fold in some dehydrated hot pepper for a pepper-jack cheese, or some bacon bits. Of course, you can take your favorite cheese recipe and use thickener and any shape mold. The possibilities are endless.
Note: Nutritional yeast and kanten agar flakes are vegan, but not raw. By the way, I can’t tell you if this actually tastes like Velveeta!
Some info on the 4 different crackers/breads. The ones that tasted the best with this cheese are the orange looking ones peeking out on the left: 1 cup medium ground flax seed, 1 cup ground almonds, 1 cup soaked and drained sun-dried tomatoes (reserve some water), 1 tablespoon each dried parsley, oregano, and basil, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and enough tomato soak water to form dough. I’ll try to track down the other exact recipes:)
The swirls and star crackers are simply stenciled before dehydrating with spirulina.
Just place stencil on dough,sprinkle a tiny amount of spirulina (or any finely ground herb) on and rub into openings using a clean finger. The large stars are stenciled with turmeric and parsley I think. :)
Paprika, cumin, and chili powder all work well just match to flavor in dough. If anyone is interested, the stencils are still available in the craft department of Walmart. They are a pack of 3 (yellow) different designs with the swirl and star one on top for $2.98. :)
The gone raw breads are stamped with plastic letter stamps used for stepping stones found in craft stores (maybe stamp the kids names or “I love you”!).

Irish Moss is raw - use that instead. You can make any raw cheez more hard and slicable by adding irish moss - you can use either the flake or powder - add adbout 1 tablespoon. everygreen, so funny that you posted this because i just made a cheddar cheese sauce the other day for a potluck and I was going to add Irish Moss and make it it into a "sliced cheese". Deja vue! :)

Holy Cow - this looks amazing! I love your bread pictures too! I won't use Nutritional Yeast, i'll use the Pine Nuts instead. I'll also use the agar-agar powder (is this actually raw???). Thanks!!!
