Vickys 'Velveeta' Cheese with Vegan Options
- 450 grams white American style cheese* / mild white cheddar, grated/shredded
- 225 grams mature Cheddar style cheese, grated/shredded
- 360 ml whole milk or full fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp powdered gelatine or agar mixed with 1tbsp water
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- *A mild, white cheddar is great here if you can't get real American cheese but I use 'Veganic' brand name 'cheeses', they're all vegan, gluten, soy & nut-free, come in many flavours and styles and can be purchased from various online sites including www.amazon.co.uk and www.goodnessdirect.com.
- They are the best melting vegan cheeses I've tried and set up again well too
- Microwave all the ingredients in a bowl on high for 5 minutes, stirring every minute.
- It will be a bit watery during the first few minutes but will be perfectly smooth and runny after everything has melted together
- You can now serve immediately as a dip for tortilla chips or you can let cool and refrigerate / freeze in portions.
- Remember to line your moulds with clingfilm - I got distracted and forgot so it was hard to show the set but it will slice well once set if you line the moulds.
- To melt just reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until hot and creamy
- Use as you would store bought Velveeta, for dips, mac n cheese etc.
- Will keep well for a week in the fridge.
- Makes around 900g / 2lbs
- Add a 300g/10oz drained tin of tomatoes with chilli and a teaspoon of ground cumin in place of a third of the milk for a really delicious dip
