Creamy-dreamy velveeta-style cheesey sauce, only vegan and actually pretty darn good for you… Sounds like a gosh darn dream!
This recipe uses my most favorite, diverse ingredient (tofu) for to thicken the sauce, a spice blend of garlic powder, onion powder and nutritional yeast for an oh-so-cheesy flavor, and unsweetened, plant-based milk to add a creamy factor.
The tofu in this sauce makes this recipe a protein powerhouse! Take into consideration the B-vitamins from the nutritional yeast and you’ve got yourself a healthy sauce for the ages. 😉
I love to use this as a dip for everything! My favorites are potato fries, tortilla chips, and raw veggies (What can I say… ?).
I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I have (It’s hard not to)!
I love seeing and hearing about recreations. Feel free to comment down below or tag me on Instagram @cookwithcourt!
