Easy Cashew Cheese & Curried Flax Crackers

December 1, 2019 by Rachel Carr Leave a Comment

Here’s my confession – I am a cheese and crackers person. Before I followed a plant based lifestyle, the holidays could be down-right dangerous for me because of it. That’s one of the reasons I love to share these two basic recipes so much. There is just something so satisfying about having these two together, and they’re perfect for festive gatherings as well, if made into an abundant cheese board.

The flax crackers are great to make a big batch and keep some in your pantry in an airtight container or bag. You may have noticed the instructions are to grind the flax seeds. You can make flax crackers with whole seeds, but I like to grind them so the nutrients are more easily digested!

Cheese Flavor Variations

Another thing I love about these recipes are the ways they can be customized. Here I have added peppercorns to the cashew cheese wheel, but this about these other variations either mixed in or decorating the outside (some of these are not raw, although the cheese itself is):

  • sun-dried tomato
  • jalapeño & chive
  • roasted garlic & rosemary
  • dill & lemon zest
  • artichoke & caramelized onion
  • roasted red pepper & za’atar

Author: Rachel Carr
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Raw Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • Curried Flax Crackers
  • 1 cup flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • salt and pepper to taste
Easy Cashew Cheese
  • 1 cup cashews soaked 2 hours in water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup of water (if needed)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. To make the flax crackers, grind the flax seeds in a blender until a fine flour is formed. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir well and allow to sit for 1 hour. Spread the flax mixture onto 3 solid dehydrator trays. Dehydrate for 3 hours at 115 F and then flip and dehydrate for another 3 hours or until completely dry and crisp.
  2. To make the cashew ricotta, soak the cashews in water for 2 hours. Drain and rinse well, discarding the soak water. Place the cashews in a food processor. Process and a few times and add the apple cider vinegar and water, as needed.
  3. Line a 3” ring mold with parchment paper and fill the ring mold with the cashew ricotta. Refrigerate overnight to allow it to set.

  • Made some Portobello Schwarma tonight WFP no oil. 
This is not a style of cooking I usually practice but I was pleased. I tossed the mushrooms with schwarma spices and veg stock and put them on a lined sheet pan. The mushrooms cooked so well and were only a little drier than if I had cooked them with oil. Omg it was so good with a little turmeric coconut yogurt, shredded cabbage and herbs on a whole wheat pita! I think next time I might cook them on a grill pan instead if I do it with no oil.

  • Basic cashew cheese with basic flax crackers-so easy and so good! 
I don’t use my dehydrator a lot but I love, love, love to make these simple crackers.
Do you have a dehydrator, and what do you like to make in it?
