Melty Vegan Mozzarella Recipe
Show more
Who needs to grate store-bought cheese when you can whip up a luscious, melty vegan mozzarella from scratch in just minutes? Silky, savoury, and wonderfully stretchy, this quick one-pot sauce is deceptively easy — and made with simple ingredients you’ll likely already have in the cupboard.
You will need
Makes 1 cup
- 1 cup full fat soy milk
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Step 1
In a saucepan over a medium heat, pour in the soy milk and immediately whisk in the tapioca starch until dissolved. Then add the vegetable oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and onion powder (if using) and stir well to combine.
-
Step 2
Stir frequently until the sauce becomes thick, glossy and stretchy, then remove from the heat.
-
Step 3
Swirl through pasta or dollop onto pizza for a ready-made melted mozzarella.
Hot tip!
Spread this mozzarella between thick buttered bread, perhaps with a few tomato slices, and then toast or grill. Or omit the tomatoes for the ultimate Italian style fried toastie, ‘Mozzarella in Carrozza’.
