Luxurious Vegan Baked Brie from The Two Spoons Cookbook by Hannah Sunderani
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 6 cloves garlic - divided
- 1½ cups water
- ¼ cup tapioca powder
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a small bowl and add boiling water to cover. Soak for 1 hour, then drain. (Alternatively, soak the cashews in room-temperature water to cover for at least 6 hours or overnight, then drain.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Chop 3 cloves of the garlic and add to a high-speed blender along with the cashews, water, tapioca powder, tahini, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, salt, and miso. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the cheese mixture into a 7½ x 2-inch round brie baking dish.
- Thinly slice the remaining 3 garlic cloves and arrange them on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with the thyme. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese has formed a skin on the top and is lightly brown around the edges, 25 minutes.

I saw this recipe in The Calgary Herald this past week and made it for a get together with a few friends. It was delicious. I used corn starch as I didn’t have tapioca powder. I halved the corn starch. I was worried how liquid the mixture was before baking but the Brie set up beautifully. I will be making this again. Light, garlicky and very tasty.
Very garlicky but delicious. I used 2.5tbsp of cornstarch instead of tapioca powder and did 3tbsp of nutritional yeast. Baked it in a brownie pan.
