Notes

Use Unsalted Raw Cashews: Opt for unsalted raw cashews to easily control the amount of salt in your cheese.
Avoid Over-blending: Be careful not to over-blend the mixture, or you'll end up with a creamy texture similar to Cashew Butter.
Opt for a High-Speed Blender for Finer Consistency: Choose a high-speed blender to create a smoother and creamier texture, especially if you prefer a finer consistency.
Go for a Food Processor for Convenience: Opt for a food processor for easy blending. Plus, it's less likely for cashews to get stuck in the bottom.
Release Stuck Cashews: If some of the cashews get stuck in the bottom between pulses, simply use a butter knife to release them before pulsing again for a smoother blend.
