DAIRY-FREE "CHEESE" SAUCE



Dairy-Free

My boyfriend and I eat dairy-free; he has no choice in the matter because of a severe casein allergy. This creamy cheese sauce is not only dairy-free, but extremely yummy and a great base recipe. You can do just about anything with it! Add a dash of cumin for that smoky Cheddar taste for mac and cheese, add more garlic, butter, and parsley for Alfredo, or add a can of tomatoes and green chiles to make that staple queso dip! It bakes well, too. Try chicken spaghetti with this creamy cheese sauce!

Categories     Sauce

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup raw cashews (see the Nut Options below)
2 cups water, divided
¼ cup diced tomatoes (can use canned)
¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons non-GMO cornstarch or arrowroot starch
½ tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
1 to 1½ teaspoons sea salt, to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Grind the cashews in a spice grinder or small food processor until powdered.
  • Pour the cashew powder into your blender. Add the 1 cup water, tomatoes, nutritional yeast, starch, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup water and briefly blend to combine.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan (to remove any large or small nut bits). Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Taste test and add more salt, if needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The sauce will thicken as it chills, but you can whisk in more water to thin it.
