Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cashews (soaked if possible)
  • ⅓ cup Coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp Cornstarch (divided)
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch 
  • ½ cup Almond milk
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Flour

Instructions

  • Add the cashews, coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, apple cider vinegar and garlic to a high speed blender. Combine until smooth.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk the cashew mixture vigorously until it firms up. Then transfer to a separate dish and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • While your ‘cheese’ is firming, set up your breading station with three bowls. Bowl #1 will have 1/2 cup of flour of choice. Bowl number 2 1/2 cup of plant milk whisked with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Bowl number 3 Panko. Line a small pan with foil or parchment.
  • Once the mozzarella has been in the freezer for 30 minutes, take it out and roll 1 inch long cylinders in your palms, then dip in the flour, then the milk mixture, and finally the panko until covered evenly. It should lend approximately 10 mozzarella sticks.
  • Place in an air fryer for 20 minutes, or bake for 20 minutes until a 400F oven. Enjoy with marinara sauce.
