Cranberry Walnut Vegan Cheese Ball

Author: Cara of Fork & Beans

Recipe type: Appetizer

Cuisine: Vegan, Vegetarian

Serves: 4

 

Ingredients

• 1 c. raw cashews, soaked 2+ hours, drained
• 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp. white wine
• Juice of ½ lemon
• ¼ tsp. sea salt
• ⅓ c. dried cranberries, chopped
• ¾ c. walnuts, chopped
• 2 pieces of plastic wrap
• 1 bowl

Instructions

1. Place the cashews, coconut oil, wine, lemon juice and salt into a high-speed blender and begin to mix until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time if it is too thick to blend. You shouldn’t need more than 2 Tbsp. of water most likely.
2. Add the cranberries and only ¼ c. of the walnuts to roughly blend for a couple of seconds.
3. Line a bowl with plastic wrap as pictured above and spoon the cheese sauce inside. Wrap the top up securely and place in the freezer for 1 hours until it begins to set.
4. Take the cheese out of the plastic wrap and in a shallow bowl place the remaining ½ c. chopped walnuts in and gently roll the cheese ball around until it is completely covered in walnuts. Wrap in a clean piece of plastic wrap, placing it back in the bowl and into the freezer for another hour.
