Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups raw cashews 
  • 1 ½  cups water 
  • 2  tbsp mellow white miso paste 
  • ¼  cup nutritional yeast 
  • ½  cup All Y’alls jerky, minced 
  • ½  cup dried cranberries, rehydrated 
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced 
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • TT salt & pepper
  • 4 sheets puff pastry 
  • Chopped parsley for garnish 

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cashew Cheese: In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, water, mellow white miso paste, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy. 
  • Ferment the Cashew Cheese: Transfer the cashew cheese mixture to a glass container. Cover the container with cheesecloth, securing it with a rubber band or string. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature overnight to ferment. This will enhance the flavor. 
  • Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the fermented cashew cheese with All Y’alls jerky, rehydrated dried cranberries, garlic, S&P, and fresh thyme. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate overnight (4 hours minimum).
  • Prepare the Puff Pastry: Lay out the puff pastry sheets. Spread 1 cup of the cashew cheese mixture evenly onto each puff pastry sheet. Sprinkle with ¼ cup cashew pieces. 
  • Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each pastry sheet into a log. Slice each log into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and chill 15-30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (200°C). Bake pinwheels 11-12 minutes or until pinwheels are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
