Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water.

In a blender, combine the soaked chickpeas with 3 cups of water and blend until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously for 10-15 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and turmeric.

Pour the mixture into a square baking dish lined with cheesecloth and smooth the top with a spatula.

Cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Slice into cubes or desired shapes and use in salads or stir-fries.
