This one was a bit of a wild ride, let me know what you'd like to see next!
Couple of thoughts on the recipe (that I initially had included but cut out bc i didn't think anyone would make this lol)
1. you could try adding miso paste (after it's been on the stove so it doesn't cook off)
2. brining the cauliflower ahead of time could help to dilute the cauliflower taste
3. flavoring it with other spices could also cover the cauliflower – liquid smoke (for a smoked gouda vibe), smoked paprika, etc…
Merle is would be very cool if we could somehow figure out how to get the vegan milks to turn into cheese. 😁
Veganism is literally the stupidest thing ever invented to be honest 😂
you added too much agar agar, that's why it didn't melt lol I'd also boil the crap out of cauliflower so the flavor would be boiled out and replaced with seasonings lol
bill merle the science GERLE
Eat real french cheese
Wait but who is the original fake cheese recipe even for??? It is neither dairy free, vegetarian or vegan??? I don’t understand
That was proper myth busting
The thumbnail is awesome xD
Miso for umami; apple cider vinegar or pickle brine
You can buy vegan cauliflower camembert in German supermarkets already.
Where's aria??? Are you two not together??
Merle Nye, pwahhahahha. You Crack me up homie, we should go on tour doing vegan standup 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I recommended Dr Madida on YouTube to my sister and after she used Dr Madida herbal medicine for her genital herpes she was cured totally.
My sister was really scared and depressed because she was told that there is no cure by a medical practionalist but I am happy that she is cured completely after agreeing, receiving and using Dr Madida's meds I gave her.
I always taste so i know if more spices and salt are needed
Why these vegan people can't come up with new names for their tasteless blend food? Why keep ruining foods like cheese? This ain't chees. This is cauliflower murdered to death.
You can add more fat so that it melts better in the oven (in the form of oil) and substitute a part of the cauliflower by a more neutral tasting ingredient like potatoes (it would also improve the creaminess of the final product).
And that’s coming from a science girl 😅
The advantage of gelatine over agar agar is that it melts at a much much lower temperature.
You could try firm (kappa) carageenan for something that melts at a lower temperature.
No…. gelatin doesn't come from crushed bones, it's found around certain bones.
The day a normal person makes a juicy steak look like a cauliflower or broccoli will never come.
Haha.
Seems like a great low carb vegan option 🙂
You're so funny! Thank you 😁
I think the reason why it doesn't melt well is because agar agar is not only more firm but much more heat stable then gelatin. Therefore I would recommend lowering the ratio of agar and blending tapioca starch with it (like many vegan cheese does nowadays).
Also, I would totally substitute the salt for msg for less sodium and more umami.
Awesome!
I would probably triple the amount of nutritional yeast, double the salt, add garlic powder, onion powder, MSG and if you want to make it yellow like cheddar add some annatto seed colouring (which is what they use in real cheese!).
Use soaked cashew and nutritional yeast instead of cauliflower.
Yay fart cheese
So much work to be a vegan. It's not for me.
I feel like miso or fermented tofu would also help out the flavor.
Cauliflower is my absolute favorite thing on the planet, I need to make this for salads or just a snack 😱 just need to experiment with substituting coconut oil, it ruins absolutely everything for me
Not to sound judgemental, but how is this healthier than regular cheese? I get that it doesn't use animal products, but for vegans who say they do it for health reasons, what is the benefit of consuming all these oils and gelatin with no nutritional value? I know that not everyone can have this privilege, but consuming dairy from your grandparents' cow who is free and pasture fed seems way better. Factory farming is wrong and I think we should pay more attention to eco and animal friendly alternatives. But highly processed oils ain't it. Remember palm oil? At least Merle is honest but a lot of other vegan youtubers aren't. I am vegetarian btw but also look into vegan recipes.
In Germany we have aged cauliflower camembert in some stores which is insaaaane (called "dr. mannah's creamy"). Thanks for turning that recipe vegan, was hoping for somebody to do that!
So if this recipe isn’t originally vegan than what is it use for? Vegetarians eat regular cheese

This Cauliflower cheeze is something relatively new to me, as I tend to see people using nuts. I suggest seeing if you can copy and alter a recipe from YT content provider "Connie's Rawsome Kitchen." She made a bleu cheeze with 100% soaked, raw cashews, inoculated with the actual bleu cheese mold, Penicilium roquefortii, which she sourced as Vegan, and did the traditional thing of flipping it, changing the parchment paper, etc., aging it for a few weeks. She didn't add thickeners nor lactic acid, which I think the latter would have improved it.
Me? I cheated. I used 70% cashews, 30% English walnuts, inoculated it with a tiny bit of mold from some dairy bleu I had bought for my husband, and put it in a bowl, trying to flip it, but not really letting it dry out. Mine was great within a couple weeks, but between not having it on parchment paper, not letting it dry, and me sampling it with a spoon, I must have contaminated it, because a month in, it had gone rotten. And yeah, I tried using it up to the point where I just couldn't. I miss the extreme sharpness of Extra Sharp Cheddar, and all of the blue cheeses, as well as the hard Italian cheeses, Asiago, Fontina, Parm and Romano. I won't go back, so I have to figure this out, because those artisinal Vegan cheesemakers, with their apparently flawless versions, aren't sharing their secrets, and I am living on a fixed income, unable to afford $26/pound cheeze.
