Grateable Vegan Parmesan

2023-03-01

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

There are not too many grateable vegan Parmesan recipes on the web. Most recipes contain coconut oil as the main ingredient, and some also have cashews. After trying most of them, I concluded that there was no choice but to work on my version.

As a fusion enthusiast, I tried to combine versions, but the result was quite disappointing. In some of the attempts, The vegan Parmesan cheese softened when it reached room temperature. I realized the reason for this is the coconut oil that becomes liquid at a temperature above 24 degrees Celsius.

I thought again: what can replace coconut oil and maintain a firm texture even at room temperature?

Cocoa butter, of course! This magical plant-based fat maintains a solid texture even in the hot summer!

I melted the cocoa butter in the microwave. Next, I added almond butter, which seemed like the best match, a generous amount of nutritional yeast, white miso, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and spices. It took me several tries until I got the correct dose. But in the end, I reached my destination. I transferred the mixture to molds and placed it in the refrigerator to set.

The result was beyond expectation, and I am more than happy to share it with you.

Ingredients
  
  • ½ cup almond butter (4.64oz) – 130g
  • ¾ cup toasted cocoa butter flakes* (3.57oz) – 100g
  • 1 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1-1½ Tablespoon sweet white miso
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice by taste
  • 1-1¼ tsp apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar
  • 1-1¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder optional
  • ¼ tsp salt by taste
Instructions
 
  • Melt the cocoa butter in a microwave or small saucepan over low heat.
  • Transfer the cocoa butter to a medium bowl, add all the other ingredients and mix well; Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Line a 4-inch diameter springform pan with cling film; transfer the mixture to the pan, cover the top with the cling film, and place in the refrigerator to set for about an hour – until the parmesan hardens.
  • Instead of using a spring mold, you can make personal mini Parmesan in the shape of hearts, flowers, etc. – pour the mixture into silicone praline molds and place it in the refrigerator to set.
  • Remove the parmesan from the mold, put it in a sealed plastic bag (or wrap it well in a cling film) so the parmesan does not dry out, and keep it in the refrigerator. If you make mini parmesans, remove them from the silicone mold and store them in a sealed box.
  • The Parmesan keeps in the fridge for a long time.
Notes
  • Use only toasted (deodorized) cocoa butter. Raw Cocoa butter will yield Parmesan with an intense cocoa flavor and aroma, while toasted cocoa butter is almost tasteless and odorless.
