Fromage De Brie is a classic French cheese that is known for its soft and creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. This vegan version is made with cashews, soy yogurt, and agar-agar, and is a healthier alternative to traditional dairy cheese. It can be used in the same way as Brie cheese, such as for snacking or as part of a cheese board, and pairs well with crackers, bread, or fresh fruit. Whether you are vegan or not, this recipe is a must-try for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious cheese alternative.

Instructions

1.	Soak the cashews in water overnight to soften them.
2.	Drain and rinse the cashews in cold water to remove any debris.
3.	In a blender, combine the cashews, water, soy yogurt, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
4.	Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
5.	In a small bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, agar-agar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
6.	In a saucepan, add the cashew mixture and tapioca mixture, whisking constantly over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
7.	Immediately transfer the mixture into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
8.	When ready to serve, sprinkle with fresh herbs or spices and serve with crackers or bread.
