Whether it's for pizza, pasta, or sandwiches\u2014this melty, stretchy, gooey vegan mozzarella cheese made with silken tofu and cauliflower (and no oil!) is versatile, healthy, and absolutely delicious! If you've been searching for the best vegan mozzarella cheese for pizza, this recipe is for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding a good store-bought vegan mozzarella has been a challenge\u2014either the taste is off, the texture is rubbery, or the ingredient list is too long, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news? You can make your own vegan mozzarella cheese at home with simple ingredients that melt beautifully and taste amazing. This vegan mozzarella recipe is not only creamy and stretchy <\/strong>but also packed with nutrients thanks to silken tofu and cauliflower.<\/strong> Yes, you read that right\u2014there are veggies inside!<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tapioca starch is the secret to making this vegan mozzarella that melts, stretches, and has that perfect gooey consistency<\/strong>\u2014just like traditional dairy-based mozzarella. You can find it at Asian grocery stores, well-stocked supermarkets, or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, there\u2019s no perfect substitute for tapioca starch. While cornstarch <\/strong>will thicken the mixture, it won\u2019t create the same elastic texture.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have tapioca starch on hand, you can still make the recipe with cornstarch, but expect a less stretchy result.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n First boil the cauliflower florets in salted water for 8-12 minutes until soft. Or use frozen cauliflower - simply thaw in the microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is a smooth, vegan mozzarella sauce that is dairy-free, oil-free, gluten-free<\/strong> - but super flavorful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hint<\/strong>: This mozzarella substitute won't firm up in the fridge so you won't be able to slice or shred it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the best texture, use this vegan mozzarella sauce immediately after cooking<\/strong>. If storing, transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Note that the consistency may change slightly over time, and it might develop a mild cauliflower aroma. Stir well before reheating for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe makes enough for about two pizza trays, so halve the ingredients<\/strong> if you don't want any leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This homemade melty vegan cheese is incredibly versatile! Once cooked and activated with tapioca starch, it's ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for other dairy-free cheese alternatives? Try these:<\/p>\n\n\n Freezing isn't recommended, as it may alter the texture.<\/p> <\/div> No, this cheese alternative won't firm up enough for slicing or grating. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this vegan mozzarella recipe a try.
