Best Vegan Cheese Sauce PERIOD!

Quick and easy Vegan Cheese sauce. Plant-based, Starch- based.
Best Vegan Cheese Sauce Period!
2c unsweetened plant based milk
1c water
1 roasted red pepper
1 garlic clove
1/3 c. raw cashews soaked in hot water for 15min. Discard soaking water.
1/4 c. nutritional yeast flakes
1 c. Idaho Spuds - instant mashed potatoes
1 TBSP rice vinegar
2 tsp (not TBSP) taco seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp smoked black pepper or smoked paprika
Note: 1/3 c Tahini, white beans, or cauliflower can be used in place of cashews.
Directions:
Place plant based milk and water in high speed blender first. Vary the liquids depending on the thickness of the final product. Add rest of ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth and creamy! This sauce is great for grilled cheese sandwiches, Quesadilla's, or creamy Mac and cheese. By leaving out the 1 c of water, this will give you a thicker spreadable sauce.
Enjoy!

    61 yr/old vegan here who has made what feels like every cheese sauce recipe out there, looking for the holy grail of vegan cheese. I found it, hallelujah!! This recipe really is the BEST cheese sauce. The texture and flavor are absolutely delicious. Perfect, even! Brilliant of you to think of using instant potatoes❤😊

    I really like the idea of trying instant mashed in with the cheese sauce. I myself prefer much more garlic and heat lol. Can’t help it I love spice there’s a few things I would do differently but to try the instant mashed potatoes is an excellent idea so thank you very much for sharing this my sister found you and you have two new followers. I’ve been vegan almost my whole life over 44 years now WFPB for the last 10. I always love to see more recipes 😃

    thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is so good. I'm always a very big sceptic when it comes to titles like "Best Vegan Sauce" because I have tried so many and they have fallen short. I'm very picky before I consider something a "replacement" for a non-vegan original. But this...holds true to the title. Easy to make, 2 mins blending in my vitamix and it was warm and smooth...so good. I have a new go to recipe for this. Next time I will keep it a bit more thicker and try for wraps.

    I can tell you why it’s different bc I don’t like cooked potatoes in in my cheesy sauce is bc it’s a bit gummy texture. The potatoes flakes is better. For myself rather than adding more liquid it seemed about correct except I did think the 1cup of flakes seemed a lot. I haven’t made it yet but it looks what I’m looking for. I’ll start off with 1/2 cup. I’m glad you brought that up. I also saw on another channel there is PB2 cashew powder. Whaaaat? I’ll be getting some of this. Less fat, no soaking and sometimes the store will be out of raw cashews. TY

    Nice! It looks super smooth. I've never tried making the cheese with boiled potatoes and carrots ( honestly, it's too much work - LOL) Have you tried with great northern beans or with oats? The oats are still a little gritty.

    It's a brilliant idea to use the taco seasoning!! I love your idea of using rice vinegar instead of lemon juice That smoked black pepper sounds really good. I'm going to look fir it. I've never heard of it before. It would be delicious in chili. I wonder how dome Rotel tomatoes would work in your recipe? ❤

    I’ve made a cashew based vegan cheese sauce for my non-vegan family, and it got ate up! Good is good, including vegan. I haven’t tried the potato variety (some even use carrots), but I will. How deeply have you gone into the ethical aspect of veganism? Indeed, I agree that vegan IS an ethical disposition, while healthy wfpb is the food/diet aspect. If the ethics are locked in, all temptation to hold onto old patterns will dissipate. What we do to animals for meat, dairy and cheese is absolutely appalling.

    Ok my best tip? Try a few teaspoons of VEGAN lactic acid, its made from beets but, you would swear all creams sauces cheeses. It will amaze you! Also there is a product out called JOI (just one ingredient) instead of tahini for lower speed blender? They carry cashew and almond products i justed using them and they're very concentrated, 1-2 tablespoons to a cup of water even makes plant milk it's shelf stable for a year, a great sub for blended nuts at 50% the quantity called for in a recipe!

    @@chickpeaslentils1581 you will need much less vegan lactic acid than than lemon juice or vinegar, tsp or 2 NOT tablespoons! Also, I add a pinch of nutmeg to all things creamy and oddly all dark leafy greens even cabbage it leaves no nutmeg taste but boosts dairy taste and removes bitterness from greens, and smell from cabbage. Niw for the JOI? I thought powder too, but no - its finely ground super concentrated, almond or cashew to the point it looks like a thinner organic peanut butter! Not a powder its wild it has no preservatives but is shelf stable a year even if opened! And I love making nut milks no straining and a cup or a quart super easy and handy. As buying plant milk in store is crazy priced and may kt use it all!
