Instructions
- 1
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them thoroughly.
- 2
Combine the drained cashews, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a high-speed blender.
- 3
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This might take a few minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. You want it utterly velvety!
- 4
If the sauce is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Remember, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- 5
Pour the sauce into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to gently heat through and thicken further. Do not boil.
- 6
Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed – perhaps a little more nutritional yeast for extra 'cheesiness'!
- 7
Serve warm over steamed veggies, zucchini noodles, or as a dip for keto crackers. Enjoy your guilt-free, cheesy goodness!
Pro Tips
This recipe is quick to prep, so have all your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking for the smoothest workflow.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
