• total time: 8 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ cups unroasted cashews

1 ½ cup water

2/3 cup refined coconut oil

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary

1 Tbsp minced fresh thyme

Baguettes

Freshly sliced strawberries

Minced fresh rosemary and thyme

Directions

HEAT THE CASHEW CHEESE MIXTURE: Add the cashews and water to a medium saucepan. Cover + bring to a low boil. Then, turn the heat to low and cook uncovered for 10 min. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the cheese ingredients (except the herbs!) until the refined coconut oil is melted.

BLEND AND SET THE CASHEW CHEESE: Carefully transfer the mixture to a heat-safe blender or food processor and blend on high until creamy and shiny. Add the herbs and pulse a few times until everything is combined. Then, transfer this mix to a container or mold and set in the fridge overnight to thicken up.

MAKE THE SANDWICH: Slice a baguette in half + spread a thick layer of cheese on each side. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of freshly minced herbs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
