Pour boiling water over the cashews, just enough to cover, and soak for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, steam your carrot and potatoes until very soft.
In a high-speed blender, add the coconut water, almond milk, and the soaked cashews along with the water they soaked in. Pulse until creamy.
Next, add the carrots and potatoes (or oats if using oats instead) along with the nutritional yeast, onion, garlic, red pepper (if using), lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and salt. Blend for 2-3 minutes or until creamy.
Check your cheese for consistency. If you would like it runnier, just add more almond milk or coconut water. If you want it creamier, add more potatoes or oats.
Taste to “marry” the flavors. Add more lemon juice, or salt or paprika or garlic powder until you get your desired taste. To make it spicy, add the pickled jalapenos or cayenne to taste.
**Note: If you are allergic to nuts, replace with the meat of a young coconut (you can find these at Asian Markets) or coconut cream. Use oats if you do not want to use cashews for the fiber.
