How do I make vegan parmesan?
All you need to do is placing all the ingredients in a food-processor and process for a couple of seconds until the cashews start releasing its oil.
Do I have to use cashew nuts?
You can use cashews or macadamia nuts. The only difference is that with macadamia nuts you get a crunchier texture.
Can I replace nutritional yeast?
You can't really replace it in this recipe. Nutritional yeast gives that "cheesy" flavor you want your Parmesan to have.

Nice! Do you have to soak the cashews or preferably not? 🙂

Hi, we have a life threatening peanut and tree nut allergy in the family so I was wondering if I could substitute pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead of cashews? Your thoughts? Thank you

I’d rather try with sunflower seeds because they’ve got a more neutral taste. I hope this helps 🙂
