- Pour the cold milk into a saucepan, add the cream and yogurt. Using a whisk, stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Bring to a boil, being careful not to let it burn.
- Meanwhile, dissolve the agar agar in a glass with a couple of inches of water. Pour it into the saucepan over the heat and continue whisking.
- Place the cornstarch in another glass, add the coconut oil and start mixing well until you obtain a creamy mixture.
- Pour it into the saucepan, whisk, and let the cream simmer. Meanwhile, chop the walnuts, leaving a few whole kernels for garnish.
- Add the nutritional yeast and chopped walnuts, and continue stirring. Season with pepper and salt. Boil for ten minutes, then turn off the heat and let it thicken for a few minutes.
- Pour a drizzle of oil into a circular container and brush it well with a silicone brush. Pour the cream into the container and refrigerate. Once the cheesecake has solidified, invert it onto a plate and garnish with the whole walnut kernels you set aside.
Walnuts are rich in minerals, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. They're also a source of vitamin E and folic acid, and are helpful in combating stress. You can serve your soft walnut cheese as an appetizer or, in larger portions, as a main course.
