3 tablespoons roasted cashews or more walnuts, if that’s all you have
2 tablespoons raw walnuts
4 teaspoons nutritional yeast large or small flakes
1/16 lactic acid powder optional
1/32 teaspoon salt or less to taste

Instructions

Add the both nuts to you chopping board and mince until you have 3 tablespoons roasted cashews and 2 tablespoons walnuts. Alternatively, you can add them both to a grinder that is not use for coffee. Do not over-process or you will make nut butter instead.
Add the nutritional yeast, lactic acid (if using) to the minced nuts and cut them or grind them together.
Taste, and if desired, add a tiny bit of salt, a tiny bit is important if you are using lactic acid powder. Use to top pasta, pizza, mac & cheese, to make pesto sauce, garnish vegetables, and more. You can use this faux Parmesan cheese for anything that doesn’t require the “cheese” to melt.
