Vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free, quick & easy
2016 is coming to a close, but not before New Years celebrations.
New Years eve & day is always so fun and full of yummy food!
I wanted to create some quick & easy appetizers which are tasty and bitesized, perfect party food.
Pesto & tomato are a match made in heaven when it comes to flavour combination and go down a storm at parties!
These little cups are filled with a cashew cream cheese, homemade basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkling of fresh chives.
I decided to make some homemade cream cheese using cashew nuts and nutritional yeast.
The yeast i used is Safari foods which is 100% vegan. These yeast flakes takes cheesy and is a natural superfood.

Step 1- Place the soaked cashew nuts into a food processor along with the lemon juice, water, salt and yeast.
Whizz up until smooth.
Step 2- Pop into the fridge for 30 minutes to harden slightly.

Repeat for the remaining tortillas, then pop them into the oven to bake.

This will take around 5-7 minutes.
