Over a year ago I took a raw food uncooking class with Cherie Soria of Living Light Culinary Institute. I learned how to make this beautiful Raw Vegan, Herb Almond Cheese which I am going to show you how to make today, plus how to make a collard leaf sandwich out of it as well!!
Nut & seed cheese are great to make because you get all the beneficial bacteria and probiotics, plus its so easy to digest– even for people who have a hard time digesting nuts and seeds.
The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.

-pour the almond cheese on cheese cloth, cover it with the cheese cloth, place a plate under the strainer and one over the almond cheese and put a heavy weight (a rock or a jar of water) on top of the plate covering the almond cheese– this extra weight will help push out excess liquids from the cheese.
