½ cup raw cashews, soaked overnight or minimum soaked 1 hour in hot water
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 ½ tablespoons Tapioca starch / flour
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Blend all the above ingredients and transfer to a pan and keep stirring it around till the cheese thickens and becomes stretchy.
