This is my favourite ‘cheese’ sauce ever!
Its’ heathy and so delicious even non-vegans will love it too. You can use this for a simple Mac and cheese, lasagne, nachos or any other recipe where you need a creamy cheesy sauce.
Note - You will need to make sure you soak your cashew nuts for at least 20 minutes but you may soak them overnight. This is so that the nuts become very soft and creamy so the sauce will too be soft and creamy. you will also need 1 cooked carrot, this balances the heat from the spices and adds a nice colour to the sauce.
I hope you love it :)
