Print Recipe

This creamy vegan liquid mozzarella is the pizza game-changer you didn’t know you needed. It’s simple, quick, and delivers that stretchy, bubbly, soul-satisfying cheese experience without any dairy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews (if needed). Place 1 cup of raw cashews in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse well.
  2. Blend everything. Add the soaked cashews, 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil, 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika to your blender. Blend on high for about 60 seconds, or until completely smooth.
  3. Heat the mixture. Pour the blended liquid into a small saucepan. Place it over medium heat. Whisk constantly. After about 3-4 minutes, you’ll see it start to thicken.
  4. Watch for the stretch. After about 5-6 minutes of constant whisking, the mixture will become thick and stretchy. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Cool slightly. Let the mozzarella sit in the pan for 1 minute. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Use immediately. Pour or spoon the liquid mozzarella directly onto your pizza. Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
  7. Bake your pizza. Bake your pizza according to your crust instructions. For a bubbly, browned top, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

Whisk constantly while heating to prevent lumps. Use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor. If too thick after cooling, add a splash of almond milk and reheat gently.
