The BEST Vegan Cheese Sauce
/
The BEST Vegan Cheese Sauce… it’s truly magical. Made with simple plant based ingredients, this vegan cheese sauce is multi-purpose and makes up for fast & easy meals. (vegan & gluten free)

Here it is folks, the BEST Vegan Cheese Sauce that I have been raving so much about. It’s creamy, silky, thick… & tastes so cheesy- it’s truly a crowd pleasing sauce. It’s better than the ones I used to buy at the store because it doesn’t have the strange artificial flavour to it. What I love about it the most is how multi-purpose it is! It goes well with everything- and I mean everything.

It starts off with 7 simple plant based ingredients with 5 spices.

And then all there is to it is cooking up a sweet potato, soaking some cashews and throwing it all into a blender. Now you have a sauce that you can use for snacks and meals!

This is a great sauce for mac and cheese or throwing some over regular tomato pasta (*it tastes fantastic cold, so it can be used in pasta salad too!). It’s also a great spread in sandwiches and wraps. Oh and the perfect condiment to dip fries, nachos, bread sticks and so much more!! I’ll be coming out with a couple recipes using this sauce so stay tuned 😉.
I really hope you make this Cheese Sauce & love it as much as I do because it is:
vegan friendly
dairy & gluten free
only 12 plant based simple ingredients
multi-purpose
way healthier than store bought cheese sauce
super simple, easy & fast to make
make-ahead friendly
& totally a magical crowd pleaser
