SpicenEasy's Quick & Creamy Vegan Cheese Sauce
-
Prep Time: 5 minutes
-
Cook Time: 10 minutes
-
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
½ cup SpicenEasy Savory Yeast Flakes
-
⅓ cup raw cashews, soaked*
-
1 cup water
-
2 tbsp tapioca flour or cornflour
-
2 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp SpicenEasy Olive Oil
-
1 tsp SpicenEasy Garlic Powder
-
1 tsp SpicenEasy Smoked Paprika
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp turmeric (for colour, optional)
*Quick-soak cashews: *Cover with boiling water and soak for 15-20 minutes, then drain.*
Instructions:
-
Blend: Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
-
Cook: Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly.
-
Thicken: Continue to cook and whisk for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens dramatically and becomes stretchy and glossy.
-
Season: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For a thinner sauce, add a splash more water.
-
Serve Immediately: Toss with cooked pasta for vegan mac and cheese, pour over nachos, or use as a dipping sauce.
Chef's Tip: *The tapioca flour is key for that stretchy, melty cheese texture. If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can use ½ cup of pre-made cashew butter instead of whole cashews. This sauce is best used fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days – it will thicken when cold, so gently reheat it with a little water to loosen it up.*
