It’s been a while since I made my original cauliflower cheese (not sure why since I used to make it on the regular and wondering why I even stopped! haha) so I thought not only to try a new and improved version of the cheddar, but also a new cheese type!
I give you…..Cauliflower MOZZARELLA!
Just like the cheddar, you can:
Grate it….for tacos, pizza, lasagna, or my chili recipe
Melt it….for a creamy dipping sauce or macaroni
Cube it….to toss in salads or just eat as a snack on a stick
Slice it….to add to your burger
• Nut Free
• Dairy Free
• Yeast Free
• Egg Free
• Paleo
• Keto Friendly
• Candida Diet Friendly
• Easy To Digest
And it’s HIGH IN PROTEIN and contains gut healing properties from Vital Proteins Gelatin. Win win!
If you make this, comment on THIS POST cuz I’d love to hear your thoughts! Also, which one would you choose to make first and for what recipe?
Burgers?
Tacos?
Pizza?
Salads?
Snack bites?
Pasta?
Lasagna?
Chili?
……any other ideas?
Cheddar Ingredients:
1 med. head of cauliflower
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp Fire Cider (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 Tbsp mustard
4 scoops Further Food Gelatin (15% off: lilsipper)
Mozzarella Ingredients:
1 med. head of cauliflower
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 Tbsp tahini
1/4 – 1/2 tsp white pepper
4 scoops Further Food Gelatin (15% off: lilsipper)
Directions:
1. For either recipe, steam cauliflower until soft and while still hot/warm, puree cauliflower in a high speed blender (I used my Vitamix) until creamy. Do not add any liquid.
-
Next add remaining ingredients for whatever recipe you’re making (besides the gelatin) and puree again.
-
Lastly, add gelatin and puree once last time, making sure all ingredients are blended in well.
-
Pour cheese puree into either a pan/container lined with wax/parchment paper or you can also pour them into silicone molds for cheese cubes (I’ve done both ways). Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm.
*Store in the refrigerator no more than 5 days. You can also freeze it!
IF you don’t have fire cider, is there something it can be replaced with??
Thank you,
Vanessa
Hi Vanessa,
Try ACV instead 🙂
I am so looking forward to making these. Hope my family will have as much enthusiasm as I am eating it too. I want to get us away from eating the store bought shredded cheeses and cheese products. Thanks hun. ❤❤😋😋
I made the mozzarella and grated it on my scrambled eggs! So yummy!
yay!!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Love this recipe! I made the mozzarella version the other day (it’s all gone now 😋) and used the exact ingredients but mine didn’t “grate” so well. I took pics but I’m not sure we can add them here? It was thick so I think the gelatin set but maybe I needed to blend it longer (I blended for a minute or less 🤔) before refrigerating (I refrigerated overnight too)? Not sure what happened. It was delicious nonetheless and I will be trying it again! Thanks for sharing such delicious recipes and creative ideas! ❤️
Can collagen peptides substitute the beef gelatin? Thanks!
Hi Chelsea,
No because collagen does not gel. You need the gelatin 🙂
Hi! Can you substitute olive oil for the coconut oil?
no
Your link for gelatin goes to Beef Gelatin. Is that what you prefer?
Hi Sonia,
Yes, that’s the only gelatin they offer 🙂
This looks so yummy!!! I’ve been waiting for the recipe!!!:)
Hey Bethany,
Stupid question: can i make it without the Vital protein gelatine?
Thank you,
no sorry hun, you need it
My daughter loves macaroni and cheese but has problems after eating it. I’m going to ask her about this and see if she’s up for it. Thank you!
I am not allowed to eat sesame. Is there a replacement for tahini?
try cashew butter 🙂
This looks amazing!! Making this ASAP!
I’ve been looking at this recipe but have not made it yet.. now that you posted it again I guess that’s a sign that it really is the time for me to try making it.. thank you so much for all the info and recipes that you’ve posted and will be posting in the future..
awww Well I hope you try it soon! 🙂
You are my hero! My 5 year old recently started developing stomach aches after eating dairy. I haven’t been able to eat dairy in years. The only thing I miss is cheese! I mean, I can make a paleo, even AIP pizza, but it’s just not worth the effort without the cheese. This is such a game changer, you rock! ❤️❤️❤️ I follow you on Instagram and have been waiting for you to post this for dayzzz lol.
I never would have thought of this, it looks so good and can be used so many ways! Thanks!!
Thank you thank you thank you for making the jab nutritional yeast free. It’s not good for me. Can’t have nightshades right now, so I can’t do firecider, but I will give it a try with ACV.
Yes, AVC should till work 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
what type of mustard do you recommend for this recipe? Yellow mustard? Do you have a go to brand (not all mustards are created equal). Same question for the tahini. Thanks!
try cashew butter. And yellow mustard is fine
This is wonderful, B! I am going to try the Mozzarella and share the results 🙂 Excited to make it!!
Can you make these without gelatin? TIA
no sorry it’s required
WOW! Love this. I feel like I can trust your recipes and advice and have introduce so many products to my family that you have recommended. I can’t wait to try!
Sounds delicious, can’t wait to make both versions! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
