The sauce doesn't contain cashews! I love this as a base. I would use an Instant Pot drain the water retaining it add all the ingredients and use a submersion blender all in one pot. I wanted the carrots to become as soft as possible for the blending process. Blend on high until it becomes as smooth and creamy as you want. This is my second time making this recipe. Finally a no-oil, no-nut cheese sauce that I’m actually looking forward to eating! Thank you for this and your other recipes! I made the biscuits and just did drop biscuits because it would have required more flour and I was out of time. Alfredo Sauce Ingredients 2/3-cup water 1/4-cup nutritional yeast flakes 2 tablespoons flour (any whole grain flour) 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons NO FAT hummus (make your own if you can’t find it made Without tahini in it or just skip it.) I did add 1 tsp smoked paprika however and it added a slight smoky, spicy flavor. Thank you so much! Thanks again for enriching our plant based lives!!!! 32 ounces (~945mL) water (stovetop method only) 32 ounces (~945mL) vegetable broth I am starting a Mary’s Mini in 2 days and I know I will appreciate this. Vegans can eat very high-fat foods and have the same level of heart disease as people who eat animal products if they do persist in eating processed, high-fat items in large quantities. ALTHOUGH DAIYA LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE THE ANIMAL PRODUCT, CHECK OUT THE INGREDIENTS LIST. But then I wiped down the sides with a spatula and set it to blend again. I added an extra cup of water and it still quit on overtemperature. So as I was lying in bed late one night, watching a Vegan cooking show of all things, I saw this guy by the name of Chef Mark Anthony…..and he was making a cheese sauce. Human nature? Also please have fun with experimentation. Definitely a keeper! I’ll be making this a lot. I have never left a review on a recipe online, but this is so good and exactly what I’ve been looking for. It is very good! Thank you for sharing! I agree… maybe it’s because I’m just starting the program, but it tasted like sour milk. Having made cashew cheese before, the consistency with potatoes is far superior and cheese-like. Thanks for the recipe, Chuck! I tried it this morning, and I too was very disappointed, and have to agree with Stephanie. Tastes great other than I would halve the salt next time. Russets tend more to turn to glue. Thanks for the very easy and delicious recipe Chuck! Thank you for posting it! People told me to wait and my tastes would change. One said it was thin. I’ve had plenty of vegan cheeses and this one doesn’t resemble cheese or taste like cheese at all. I’ve been whole food plant based for almost 10 months and loved cheeses maybe even more than meat before the change. I have been wanting to try this recipe and it turned out great! Do you know how long this might keep in the fridge? Thank you! place all of the alfredo sauce ingredients into a blender. Dying to try this!! Step 2 –Discard garlic (or save for another use) and transfer cauliflower … Comfort food that comes together in around 30 minutes. No call for the rude comments. I usually add a little more water & only have a regular blender, not a Vitamix. I’m currently doing potato reset so I’m taking a break from my white beans but that is really my favorite base for a cheese sauce. Life would be more boring without this wonderful cheese sauce!! Amazing! I did use less carrots, no vInegar and half the Lemon amount stated. Thank you for sharing. This was so easy and creamy. Pat, I would lower the lemon juice and maybe skip the vinegar.

Thanks! I made it exactly like the recipe and it doesn’t look anything like the pictures and it doesn’t taste anywhere close to cheese. Can this sauce be frozen? I will say that my first taste left me unimpressed as I had the taste of dairy cheese in my mind and could only taste lemon. when THIS guy starts making a vegan cheese sauce, with Carrots and Potatoes of all things, I woke up pretty quickly. I have a recipe similar to this but it doesn’t include the vinegar or turmeric. Nope, I’ve made two versions of this exact recipe, and they’re both like putting garlicy mashed potatoes on pasta. Thanks, Chuck. Yum! I have had some really great vegan cheese recipes and this was unfortunately not one of them. Maybe??? Totally different. Yuck. This was truly amazing.
