Ingredients
- ½ c. pimentos
- 6 T. Cornstarch
- ¾ c. raw cashews
- ¾ c. sunflower seeds
- 2 T. salt
- ¾ c. nutritional food yeast 3/4 c. oat flakes
- ¾ c oat flakes
- 6 T. lemon juice
- 1 T. onion powder
- 1 T. honey

Instructions
- Blend all the above ingredients with 1 1⁄2 cups of the water until creamy. Add the rest of the water and mix well.
- You may freeze the cheese at this point in smaller portions if you wish, and only cook up the cheese as needed. I suggest using 1 or 2 cup portions. You can freeze in a ziplok bag or glass jars, just be careful not to overfill jars.
- When ready to use, bring liquid to a boil, stirring continuously until it thick- ens. May use hot or chilled.
