How to Make Melty Cheese Sauce Vegan

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
  2. Combine the cashews, nutritional yeast, 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan.
  5. If using agar agar, whisk it into the sauce.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, pizza, vegetables, or as a dip for tater tots or veggie burgers. It also pairs wonderfully with ketchup and barbecue sauce!
