Vegan Cheese Recipes

Explore the best easy vegan cheese recipes! I've spent the past 15 years making vegan cheese at home, and now I'm sharing my favorites with you.

All of these recipes are designed to be as quick and simple as possible, while still delivering that tangy, rich, and cheesy flavor you crave (minus the dairy).

In addition to a variety of delicious dairy-free cheese alternatives, you'll also find recipes and ideas for incorporating them into your meals. Most of these cheese recipes are gluten-free and oil-free, with several nut-free options, too!
