Blend soaked nuts, yeast, garlic, lemon juice, salt. Add water gradually for smoothness.
Adjust taste: more yeast for cheesiness, lemon juice for tang, salt for flavor.
Smooth mix: shift to container. Mold as block or spreadable.

Once the vegan cheese has set, it's ready to be enjoyed! Use it as a spread, dip, or topping for various dishes.
