Vegan Cheese Ball
Hosting a holiday celebration? This vegan cheese ball treat will be the talk of your party. Made with feel good ingredients such as cheesy coconut chips, nutritional yeast, and all the savoury spices.
If you’re going plant-based, cashews are one of the most versatile nuts. From a vegan cheese ball to cheesecake to nut-milk, cashews can make a great substitute for some of those recipes that contain dairy.
