Directions

  1. Rinse the cashew nuts in cold water and discard any that are damaged. ≈ 2 min
  2. Soak them in at least 8 hours in a large volume of cold water: they expand significantly.
  3. Drain the avocados and place them in a blender with the cold water and lemon juice. Blend until you have a smooth, velvety cream. ≈ 4 min
  4. Add the salt and yeast, and mix again. Taste: the flavor should resemble labneh. Add lemon, salt, or yeast if needed. ≈ 4 min
  5. Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the cream into it, without overfilling so that you can close it. ≈ 3 min
  6. Bring the edges together and close with an elastic or string. ≈ 3 min
  7. Allow to drain for at least 12 hours, suspended above the sink, or in a colander placed over a bowl, ensuring that the cheese does not come into contact with the liquid.
  8. Transfer to a sealed container: it can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
