REAL VEGAN YOGHURT CHEESE
Unlike most types of vegan cheese this is real cheese. At least it's made just like the same kind of dairy cheese would be made. It is quite low in fat and has a texture like low-fat cream cheese. The taste is also similar though not very tangy so you might like to add some lemon juice to the cheese. Make sure you use real soya yoghurt made from live cultures as it might not otherwise work. If you would like a savoury cheese, it's usually all right to use sweetened yoghurt and add salt afterwards, but don't use a flavoured variety (like vanilla). Of course you can also make sweet versions of the cheese to use in frostings and desserts or just as a sweet spread. I've heard that real oat yoghurt is also available and I'm sure this recipe would work with that as well.

Steps:
- Whisk the yoghurt until smooth.
- Fully line a sieve or colander with a cloth with the corners hanging out. The cloth should be big enough to serve as a bag to hold all the yoghurt.
- Scald the cloth by pouring boiling water through the sieve. Wait for a minute or till the cloth has drained a bit, then pour the whisked yoghurt into sieve.
- Bring the corners of the cloth together over the yoghurt to form a bag and tightly secure with a rubber band. Suspend the bag from a hook or a knob, placing a bowl underneath to catch the whey that will drip. Leave for 2-4 hours until most of the water has drained. You can open the bag carefully and check if it has attained the texture of cream cheese.
- Alternatively you can fold the corners of the cloth over the cheese and place a weight on top. It will drain more quickly and might convenient if you have no place to hang it.
- With paneer (Indian cottage cheese), placing a weight or squeezing is said to impair the flavour of the product. I have not had this problem with this cheese but if you are worried you could also leave it in the sieve without a weight, though it will take much longer to drain but you could leave it overnight.
- When the cheese has fully drained, transfer it to another container and refrigerate. Add salt to taste, if desired. You can also flavour it with herbs and spice or anything you wish.
- There is no need to discard the whey - you can use it as a light buttermilk-like liquid in cakes and breads, and many other recipes.

- Make sure everything you will be using is scrupulously clean. I run my glass jars, and lids through the dishwasher on the hottest setting. You can also wash them in hot soapy water and put them on a baking tray in an oven at 135 °C (275°F) for 15 to 20 minutes or clean the jars in hot soapy water, rinse them, then put them still drippy and wet into the microwave. Microwave them on high for 45 seconds (do not put metal lids in the microwave - Soak them in boiling water). I also wash my blender jar in hot soapy water, then rinse and fill with boiling water from the kettle, let it sit for a few minutes then pour it out.
- Put the cashews in a small bowl and cover them completely with boiling water. Leave them to soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Don't skip this step.
- Run a kettle of boiling water through your sieve then drain the cashews really well and add them to a blender. Add the coconut milk, yogurt and maple syrup, then blend until it is completely smooth.
- Decant the mixture into clean and dry jars. Any combination of jar sizes that will hold a total of about 600ml (just under 3 cups). I like to use small ones so I have individual sized servings. If you plan on using an Instant Pot make sure before you start filling the jars that they will fit easily together inside the metal inner bowl.
