Instructions
 

  • Press your tofu well and use your hands to crumble it into your food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. This will take a few minutes, and you may need to stop to scrape the sides of your blender often. You will know it's ready when the mixture turns from a cottage cheese-type texture to a thick and creamy texture.
  • Lay out 2 12-inch pieces of plastic wrap or cheesecloth and spoon 1/2 of the cheese mixture onto the center of each. Carefully lift all corners of the wrap or cheesecloth, gather them together, twist a few times, and fasten with a rubber band. Place each wrapped cheeseball in a small bowl and leave in the fridge overnight to set.
  • Measure and chop your walnuts. Add them to a shallow pie dish or something similar and remove the cheeseballs from the fridge. The cheeseballs will have hardened overnight and will be easier to mold. Before you open the wrap, use your hands to mold them into even spheres. Then, gently remove the wrap and place in the finely chopped walnuts. Use a butter knife to smooth the top / sides and carefully roll the ball gently to coat it on all sides with chopped walnuts.
  • Serve with crackers, grapes, apples, veggies, bread, and all. the. things. Enjoy!
