[Eco-Friendly Nature Cook] Easy Homemade Vegan Cashew Cheese Sauce
Experience the authentic flavor of vegan cheese! We’ll show you how to easily make a vegan cashew cheese sauce at home using creamy cashews and flavorful nutritional yeast. It’s perfect as a spread for toast or as a versatile dressing. Let’s make it together! ^^
Main Ingredients- 1 cup raw cashews (approx. 100g)
- 1g salt or bamboo salt
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (approx. 10g)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (approx. 15ml)
- 1/2 cup filtered water (approx. 100ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare high-quality raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water, using about twice the volume of cashews. Let them soak for at least 2 hours. Soaking them overnight will yield an even smoother texture.
Step 2
Drain the soaked cashews using a sieve and rinse them lightly under cool running water. It’s crucial to drain them well after rinsing.
Step 3
This is nutritional yeast, the key ingredient for vegan cheese! It imparts a rich, cheesy flavor and is also a superfood packed with B vitamins. ^^
Step 4
Now, let’s start making the sauce. Add the soaked cashews and 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast to your blender.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. The lemon juice brightens the sauce’s flavor and adds a pleasant tanginess characteristic of vegan cheese.
Step 6
For balanced flavor, add 1g of salt or bamboo salt. Feel free to adjust the saltiness to your preference after tasting.
Step 7
Finally, pour in 1/2 cup (approx. 100ml) of filtered water. You can adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
Step 8
There you have it – all the ingredients are ready in the blender! A delicious vegan cashew cheese sauce is about to be born!
Step 9
Securely close the blender lid and blend until all ingredients are finely pureed. It’s best to start at a low speed and gradually increase it.
Step 10
Stop the blender and check the sauce’s texture. It’s ready when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency that doesn’t pour too easily! The slightly tangy, cheesy aroma is what makes this vegan cheese sauce so special. ^^
Step 11
Transfer the finished vegan cashew cheese sauce into a sterilized glass jar for storage. It can be kept refrigerated for about 3-4 days. It’s incredibly delicious spread generously on freshly baked bread! It also works wonderfully as a salad dressing or pasta sauce.
