Pili Nut Cheese


I used to love cheese but I couldn't keep eating it knowing I was hurting and buying into such a terrible industry. I am not a big fan of soy or processed foods but needed something to replace my cravings. I then found coconut cheese which helped me make the switch off dairy.. and now I can make my own which I love. This was an experiment which I have to say has worked a treat. Pili nuts are a great source of essential fat and vitamin E, and also delicious. Hope you enjoy
