I know I have posts a LOT of vegan cheese sauces, dips, spreads, etc over the years and there are many I like for many different reasons. I also seems like I do them a little different each time I use them or make them.
Today I threw together another vegan cheese sauce and absolutely LOVED it! I don't know if there has been another attempt I have enjoyed this much in a long time - if ever! Here are a few photos of the Mac & Cheese I covered it in!
All in a blender...
1 C + 1 Handful Cashews, Soaked
1 C Water
1 T Garlic Tahini
3 Handfuls of Nutritional Yeast
1 T Lemon Juice (more to taste)
2 Squirts Yellow Mustard
1/2 t Turmeric
1 T Dried Minced Onion
Black Himalayan Sea Salt (to taste)
I think the Garlic Tahini addition really took it to the next level and helped with the over all creaminess!
It also kept the same creamy consistency and didn't dry out like some of the other cashew sauces I have done tend to do.
I had some left over and used it to dip pretzels in! I didn't have any corn chips in the house or I would have try it on them, too!
I know I will continue to try different combos but I have to say - for the foreseeable future - this is my new favorite vegan cheese sauce!
I can't wait to try it on a baked potato! Another pair I can think of is on top of cooked broccoli!
I can't wait to try and make this again!
