This recipe uses only 4 ingredients and simply dump and blend and it tastes better than the real Parmesan. If you are sensitive to dairy, this Paleo cheese recipe is perfect for you!
Little did we realize cashew nuts can be so versatile in recipe creations. For people who loves tofu but have been trying to avoid soy, I made two versions of soy-free ‘tofu’ and one of them uses cashew flour. The Paleo Chilled “Tofu” is vegan friendly and creamy delicious with a hint of nutty flavor. The cold cashew tofu is perfect for hot summer weather. For the second version, I used egg custard to make crispy ‘tofu’ so if you are a fan of crispy soy free ‘tofu’, definitely check it out!
Use my Paleo Parmesan Cheese as a topping, seasoning, or sprinkle it on anything you fancy. It works perfectly for gluten free pasta, skillet roasted crispy Brussels sprouts, Keto cauliflower gratin (coming next week), and many more. The possibilities are endless!
So my friends! This recipe is
Dairy-free
Easy
Versatile
Perfect holiday gift !

Hi…. Am new to Keto, I want to try this. But do I use raw cashew or the roasted ones?
Hi Carolyn, so sorry. I just saw the message. I use raw ones in the recipe but feel free to use the roasted ones. Unsalted is the best so you can control the level of salt. :))
I love how simple this recipe is! Will definitely be making it soon!
That is super creative! Love this idea!
I’m a big fan of cashew cheese and use it all the time! This parmesan cashew cheese looks simply delicious and your photos are great!
This is such an inventive idea, executed so prettily and then … SO much fun to have this dairy-free condiment!! Thanks!
I LOVE this idea, thanks for sharing (will be making soon, I have so many ways in mind to use it)!
I love this idea! I’m running low on nutritional yeast but will be getting some more soon.
I really need to start making cashew cheese! I love cashew milk in my coffee and am so excited to find this homemade dairy-free parmesan alternative. And I can’t wait to try this cashew parmesan on roasted brussels sprouts. Yum!
Oh my goodness, this is some kind of genius wizardry! Brilliant 🙂
