In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, salt, turmeric, and plant-based milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Thicken the Mixture:
In a small bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour or arrowroot powder with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the blender and blend again until well incorporated.
Cook the Mixture:
Transfer the blended mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the agar agar powder (if using) and refined coconut oil (if using). Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes stretchy and gooey. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Cool and Store:
Once the cheese mixture has reached the desired texture, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the vegan cheese onto your prepared pizza dough. Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake according to the pizza dough instructions.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the pizza is baked and the cheese has melted and bubbled, slice it and savor the deliciousness of your homemade vegan pizza creation.
