If you want a more cheese-like flavor, add more nutritional yeast. If you want a little extra tang, add more lemon zest. If you want a sharper taste, add some more garlic powder. If the cheese needs more overall flavor or balance, add a dash of sea salt.

Do not over handle the cheese, or it will fall apart.

You can use this cheese on breadsticks, pizza, and even pasta.

This cheese is not the same as fresh, non-vegan mozzarella. It is more like a dip.

Tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Do not substitute any other type of flour or starch. The tapioca is the key to the gooey texture.

Don’t be alarmed if the cheese is watery at this point. The next step will thicken it back up.

Reheat the cheese over medium heat, stirring often. If it is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water at a time until it thins out. Enjoy the cheese within 2 to 3 days.
