2 Cups of Raw Cashews
1 Lemon, Squeezed
1 ¾ Cup of Water or as needed
1 TSP Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt
½ Cup of Nutritional Yeast
1 TSP Chili Powder
2 Garlic Cloves
1 TBSP of Dijon Mustard
¼ TSP of Red Pepper Flakes
1 TSP Black Pepper

In a high-speed blender or food processor, add in the cashews, lemon juice, salt, nutritional yeast, chili powder, garlic cloves, Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, black pepper, turmeric, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the ingredients to your taste.
You can warm up the cheese sauce by blending it on the soup option on a Vitamix or add it to a sauce pan on low heat. Stir to keep it from sticking. Serve it as a dip, on top your favorite noodles for mac and cheese or as a nacho cheese sauce.

(ACTUALLY GOOD) VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE

(Actually Good) Vegan Cheese Sauce image

I've tried so many vegan cheese recipes and they all taste, well, not like cheese. So I gave up and made my own. You can mix the sauce into macaroni, drizzle over fries, or use it in any other deserving dish.
