Ingredients in Liquid Mozzarella
Potato Flakes are so simple in this recipe, giving the cheese its stretchiness and a lot of volume. Regular potatoes can be used but do tend to taste more strongly of potatoes.
Nutritional Yeast adds a lot of cheesy flavor.
Lactic Acid, Lemon Juice, and Vinegar are where this recipe gets its acid tang. Use what you have. Combining all three ingredients gives a complex flavor, but this recipe is still delicious with just lemon juice.
Miso Paste is a fermented Japanese seasoning made from soybeans, salt, and koji. It has a savory, umami flavor with a slightly salty and tangy taste, adding depth and complexity to dishes.
Salt is essential here … since “real” cheese is pretty salty, this needs at least a dash. But use to taste.
Oil is optional here. This recipe is better and more cheese-like with oil, but it’s undoubtedly also delicious without it.
Onion Powder and Garlic Powder make everything yummier!
Mustard: Just a touch, but it adds some great flavor.
Easy to Make!
This is so easy to make. Simply blend the ingredients until very smooth in a high-powered blender. Then pour into a medium saucepan and gently simmer over medium heat for a few minutes. That’s it.
Use a spoon to dish out this creamy, pourable cheese or, even better, let it cool a bit and pour it into a squirt bottle.. Keep in mind that as the cheese cools, it will set up more and be thicker.
Squirt it all over your favorite pizza. It will brown in the oven, just like “real cheese.”
This vegan liquid mozzarella recipe ensures a stretchy cheese with a desired result that will impress vegans and non-vegans alike. So, get creative and enjoy the delightful flavors of homemade vegan liquid mozzarella cheese.

Hello! I’m Lisa, a vegan artist, photographer, author, Vegan Life Coach Educator, and RYT 200 yoga teacher. I love showing others how simple and delicious a plant-based diet can be. I draw and paint, cook, write, take lots of pics, eat lots of chocolate, and practice gratitude daily.
Awesome recipe! ❤️
I would love to try this, but cannot eat soy. Are there any other alternatives to miso? Also, I cannot eat gluten, yeast (for baking bread) or corn. Thank you.
Hi Mrs B! Just omit the miso and taste test, it might need more salt without the miso.
@Mrs. B, There are non-soy types of miso. I’ve had chickpea and barley. Both were delicious, and tasted just like soy miso when added to recipes. It adds so much additional flavor, besides just the salt, that it’s worth trying to find the alternative types.
What are potato flakes? Can I use regular potatoes instead of the flakes? If affirmative how much? Tks
@joe,
Hi Joe!
Potato flakes are dehydrated mashed potatoes that usually come in boxes. I love them for just making mashed potatoes, and they work really well in vegan cheese recipes because they’re starchy but milder flavored than regular potatoes.
And YES, you can use regular mashed potatoes. Just add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes and then adjust the water (approximately 1 to 1 1/2 cups) to make a thick but liquid mixture.
Here’s a link to potato flakes on Amazon https://amzn.to/3MHVCUU but you should be able to find them in any local grocery. I usually find them in the same aisle as the dry rice and beans.
Let me know how it turns out!
Is lactic acid essential? Cannot get ugh!
Hi Joe, just omit it if you can’t find it. Use the lemons juice and vinegar for the acid.
The ingredients are stated in the article but the actual recipe is not showing. I would love to try this one. Thanks.
Hi Lisa, the recipe should be showing now. Not sure what happened. Let me know how it turned out!
