Nut Cheese?

Being lactose-intolerant and a cheese-lover is a tough lot, so I'm always intrigued by recipes with "cheese substitutes." I happened upon a Pinterest post for "Cashew Cheese" and figured I'd give it a try. Grant it, it's not cheese, but if I close my eyes and dip a corn chip into this somewhat creamy concoction the experience isn't half bad... and it hopefully won't give me gas later.

Ingredients
    •    1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 1hr or more)
    •    ¼ cup filtered water
    •    ¼ cup nutritional yeast (I don't know what this is and didn't feel like leaving the house, so I omitted it)
    •    2 Tbs. lemon juice
    •    2 cloves garlic
    •    2 Tbs. white wine or use 1 Tbs. raw apple cider vinegar (I used the latter)
    •    1 Tbs. dijon mustard
    •    sea salt and pepper to taste
    •    ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (I used the jarred in oil kind)


Stick it all in a food processor and there ya go!
