Ingredients

Cashew Mozzarella

  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • cup water
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste

Pizza

  • 1 8- inch sprouted or gluten-free tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 2 ounces cremini or baby bella mushroooms, destemmed and sliced
  • ½ cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Handful fresh basil leaves
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.

For the Cashew Mozzarella

  • Add the cashews, water, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, arrowroot powder, and sea salt to a high-powered blender* and blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until completely smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a small sauce pan. Heat over medium and whisk continuously until it thickens and just starts to become stretchy. Approximately 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

To Assemble

  • Line a small baking pan with parchment paper. Place the tortilla on the pan and top with the pizza sauce. Use a tablespoon and drop heaping spoonfuls of the mozzarella on the sauce. Top with the mushrooms and tomatoes. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tortilla is crisp and the veggies are tender. Chiffonade the basil leaves and sprinkle over the pizza along with the crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

*If you don't have a high-powered blender, simply soak the cashews in warm water for an hour or two before blending.
