Homemade Vegan Cashew Cheese

The combination of cashews, garlic and chickpeas gave the cheese a mildness that ended up being so versatile. This cheese would be great to top a salad or a pasta. While it won't melt like cheese, it’s a pretty great substitute for hard cheeses like a Parmesan or feta. Covered and placed in the fridge, it was delicious for an entire week.
