Kathy-ann Chase I bet you’d like cauliflower combined w/the other ingredients here! Give it a try. Unfortunately, I’m writing this in April 2020 during the pandemic & it’s impossible to find nutritional yeast which makes the difference. The reason for using cauliflower is bc it saves on using cashews instead which can be very expensive.
Hi Everyone. This looks great and I do my own cheese with cashews, carrots and potatoes. I would love to make this, but I can not get past the taste and smell of cauliflower. So does it really taste like cheese and will I not notice the cauliflower? Thank you.
I can’t believe how good this is!! Coming from a skeptic! My adjustment: only cooked it with one and a half cups of vegetable broth in my instant pot and ended up reserving a lot of that liquid before blending because I didn’t want my cheese sauce to be too thin. It turned out amazing! This will be the thing that saves me from my cheese addiction as I pursue a whole foods plant-based diet.
Okay so I made the cheese sauce and I was like it's pretty good but it doesn't taste very cheesy to me. It'll make a yummy soup. So I let it sit in the refrigerator for a clue of days and OMG. I think the flavors had a chance to merge or something. I'm new to this whole plant based but I am not going to find a better vegan cheese sauce than that. Delicious!!! I like the idea of the lady who made nachos out of them. Now that it is fall I think I'm going to add a little bit of broth and some cooked broccoli to it and make a nice broccoli cheddar soup with it. I can not believe that is made out of cauliflower and butternut squash. That tempeh filling was my first time making tempeh. It was delicious. Next time I make I'm going to add some tomato sauce to it and I will make some spaghetti.
I recently went dairy free. I also don't eat most meats (Pescetarian), and nuts are not in my budget (only peanuts really), so it's nice to find cheese sauce recipes without nuts. Thanks for this.
I'm pescetarian as well! Going dairy free for breastfeeding, and all the other "cheese" recipes use raw cashews. Those are SUPER expensive! I'm excited to try this out soon!
This rivals any cashew based sauce I’ve ever had. Hands down, this is my new favourite. I used frozen butternut squash and frozen cauliflower to save time and it was amazing. I will be making this over and over again.
Sister, if you want to prevent the pasta from overcooking, after you've drained it, submerge it in cold water and then drain it again. This is very convenient if you have guests coming so you can sauté your pasta with the creamy cheese at the very last moment. ❤️😇🤗
I just made this cheese and it blows my mind. My husband ate it and said he would never notice that it wasn't real cheese- and he's hyper aware of any "fake" recipes I make. Made a Mac and cheese casserole and it's the bomb. I've been so sad trying to find dairy subs as they're usually expensive/they suck.
I'd like to point out that this sauce could just as easily be eaten on its own as a soup. I make my own version of this, and I always eat several spoonfuls before applying it to a dish. 🤤
I just made your cashew based cheese sauce over the weekend and my carnivores LOVED it. I can't wait to try this one too and it's the perfect time of year with an abundance of squash in the garden!
@@RainbowPlantLife i am definitely going to get your book Nisha. I really like your recipes. I have seen most of your videos and I like the ingredients you combine together plus I love cooking in my Instant Pot. Wishing you lots of cooking inspirations:-)
@@Ismella Oh yay! That's so nice to hear. I am so happy you like my recipes and the way I combine ingredients :) Can't wait to see what you make from the book :)
Oh, man. I'm excited to try this. Going corn, rice, and dairy free due to allergies has drastically decimated the number of things I can eat. It's easier to list the things I can than cannot, but this seems so simple and I can probably find corn-free options to actually make something for once! Big thanks.
I absolutely loved this! By far my favorite recipe I've tried for "cheese" ( I have tried a lot). Finally something without cashews, I strongly dislike any cheese recipe that calls for cashews. I add a few tablespoons of paprika for some yummy mac and cheese/ nacho dip.
I made this sauce today and it was so yum! I also made some chilli beans and had it in a spinach wrap with the cheese sauce and avocado, my children also loved it. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe!
Love the look of this cheese sauce. I made a cashew and spinach cheese sauce earlier this week using just a quarter of the cashews in the recipe. It was so rich I wasn't able to get through my greens, broccoli, brown rice and a few other ingredients of the "bowl". Nuts just make me feel so full. This sauce is on my menu this Saturday! Thanks Nisha :)
okay favorite video ever atm. i’ve been getting into cooking recently and i’m not vegan, but i am a little extra aware of what i put into my body nowadays, also i am allergic to nuts. i’m very free flowing when it comes to me in the kitchen, making these recipes great to be looking forward to!! i’m so happy i came across this video!! 💓
This is an AMAZING recipe 😋. Best cheese sauce I’ve ever had in my three years of a plant based diet. My whole family loved it, too. I’m making some to share with my coworkers next week. Thank you 🙏🏾
I made this tonight for the first time. So delicious! I added 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and it gave it a bit of the tang you get from real cheese. My hubby and I are already thinking off the different recipes we can use it in.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe I am severely allergic to nuts so this definitely works for me and helps to keep me on track with my plant-based diet thank you
Seeing some of your videos inspire me from never done proper cooking before to seriously picking up the life skill. Much needed and love the way you demo ingredients preparation until they transform into wholesome dishes 🙆🏻♀️
Funny. The other day I had leftover cauliflower that we cooked in our solar oven with peas and garlic, and I thought to myself, “ I bet this would be a solid vegan cheese base.” Turned out amazing! And is especially special because we don’t always have access to affordable nuts where we live. Next, I want to experiment making it with our surplus of summer squashes growing! Love your vids!
I’m not vegan but I love your channel because you make cooking seem easy and fun, and your recipes are delicious! I can’t wait to try this because it sounds AMAZING. 😁
Your recipes are just so creative! I love that they're easy enough to make but I would never think of them on my own. I can't wait to try that grilled cheese!
So happy to see this video! My younger one has a nut allergy so we are definitely going to make this cheese sauce! Love all of your recipes and all that you do!
I just made this cheese sauce. It's very beautiful. I just didn't like the addition of coconut milk. It kind of ruined the flavor for me. It would taste better without it in my opinion. But, I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. It is the best vegan cheese sauce I have come across and will surely make it again.
Thanks for your feedback Sweta. I guess coconut milk can be a somewhat strong flavor for some palettes. You could try something different like oat milk next time. It's about as creamy but very neutral in flavor. Hope that works!
I just made this cheese sauce and it was Da Bomb!!!! I lightened up on the garlic..10 cloves scared me. 😲 I used 5 instead. It was good..but A lil more wouldda been fine. It made more than I needed, but I'm sure I can find ways to indulge in more creamy goodness. Still, for future reference, can it be frozen? Love your recipes and you! Thx, Linda
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU! I have just recently discovered your channel however am a BIG FAN and love all your recipes! I made this cheese sauce yesterday and it is YUMMY..... SO DELICIOUS!!! Once you try this you will never go back to dairy!!
Hi Nisha! I made this recipe today (because I'm allergic to cashews) and the taste is great! I wanted to let you know that I added in 1/4cup+2TBSP oat flour to make it more "gooey" (less runny) like liquid cheese and it worked! You may want to try that sometime. Thanks for the recipe (for all the recipes) 😊
Your direction is always so detailed and welcomed! Also, thanks for alternative cooking methods! I live alone and have very minimal cooking equipment... no insta pot, etc. Thanks ❤️
SOOOOOO GOOD!! I cannot stop licking the spoon. This is hands down the best vegan cheese sauce I’ve ever tasted. I have poured it over my pinto bean enchiladas right now, baking away. I love that it’s but free. Guiltless due to the lack of heavy calories. And sneaking in some awesome veggies. Thank you for this! I didn’t have fresh garlic so 1.5 tsp of garlic powder worked. I added 1 tsp of onion powder and an extra 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast. So good!!!!! Have you frozen it? How does it hold up?
This recipe looks fantastic! I love finding cheese sauce recipies to try! We are from Wisconsin when we changed our diet cheese was the most difficult to give up!
Solid recipe. I’m going to make those quesadillas tonight but swap tempeh for jackfruit, because that’s what I got! I have leftover cheese sauce so this will be a quick one, too :)
This is soo good! I used chili powder instead of paprika (cuz I just had plain paprika) to add flavor & used mushroom broth (since I was out of vegetable). This was so good, I could easily just eat this as a soup & I'd be totally satisfied!! I had to force myself to put it in the fridge when it got done so I wouldn't eat it all. Was making this & your recipe for homemade hummus to go with my Vegan burrito bowl. This is my second "cheese" sauce recipe I've made. The 1st (by someone else) was okay - they used potatoes & carrots. This recipe is Epic! 1000% a keeper!!
I so need to make this! I have been trying to eat as raw as possible. I cook a few things, here and there. I tried to make cheese sauce with nuts, and it tasted like nuts! The consistency was gross. I am making this tonight, and pouring it over steamed broccoli and cauliflower! Thank you, sweet lady for a great recipe idea! 🥰
Jackfruit and mushrooms are becoming great recipe builders.. I have been using sweet potato and carrots to make cheese, I have to use a thickener...But, this way it's sliceable. However, I can't wait to try it this way. Thank you so much for sharing..
Nice.. easy. I am keto but want to reduce use of cheese and nuts.. this is great.. I will skip the bread but use as a base for a soup which I make every week..
I have tried making a veggie nut free mac and cheese sauce and it was good but no matter how much nutritional yeast I put it didn't taste like cheese sauce it just tasted like a really good slightly cheesy flavor veggie sauce because you can still taste the veggies in it but they do taste good just can't fool me to calling it cheese so I had to do my veggie cheese and add my creamed cashews or sunflower seed to make it taste more rounded to calling it cheese and sometimes even a bit of tapioca startch to give it a thicker pull to the texture
@@jedinyte1 OK, I just had macaroni cheese with a sauce made from this recipe. I used smoked paprika so the cheese sauce had a touch of 'hammy' flavour but it didn't detract from the overall effect. This is a very tasty alternative to fermented nut cheese. Top marks!
Hi. Cannot wait to try this. Finding a plant based recipe that tastes like cheese is a real challenge. I have cured my Asthma with plants. And want to cure our daughter. Problem is real cheese is causing the problem for her. She loves dairy cheese. Hope this recipe works. Thanks for sharing. Will let you know if I can convert her and cure her Asthma too. :)
Im so thankful for you. Your are so amazing!!! I'm back to vegan few weeks now after falling off for a little. Feels good already. Thanks for this video
Made this today. It tastes really good! I don't think it tastes exactly like cheese, but I look forward to adding this to my meatless grain bowl tomorrow morning and spreading it on sandwiches!
I really want to try this. I've tried other vegan cheese sauces made with butternut squash before, but always found them to be sweet, which isn't something I look for in cheese subs.
Coconut milk is high in saturated fat which is not healthy and is bad for your arteries. However, there is a substitute I recommend which is using oat milk and add a teaspoon of coconut extract to get that coconut aroma! Your body will thank you later in life. ☺️☺️☺️
I may try the sauce but jackfruit in a sandwich??? Definitely innkvative. Makes my stomach turn at the thought of eating that much at once though. I can only handle one pod of jackfruit at a time. I know others will love it. Nice video.
I was synical about making this purely because every other vegan cheese recipe I have tried has been a disappointment. Today I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try... and I'm so glad I did!!! After simmering the vegetables and transferring them to the blender I kept thinking 'how do all these ingredients mixed make a cheese sauce'?! I persevered until the very end and when I finally tasted it, I was like OMG! THIS IS DELICIOUS!!! It was like lightening had struck my brain!!! Finally, a vegan cheese recipe that actually tastes like cheese! Better than real cheese!!! Thank you so much for this, I had almost given up on the whole vegan cheese thing! I had the sauce with pasta and garlic bread, it was beautiful!! 😁👌 Do you have a recipe for solid vegan cheese? I've tried many recipes but none of them have been that great tbh. The recipes I have tried all use cashew nuts, not sure if that's perhaps the issue? If you have any suggestions about making solid vegan cheese I would be very grateful to you. Thanks again for sharing this cheese sauce recipe, it is the BEST sauce I have ever made in my life! And it's healthy too, ticks all the boxes. I'm going to share it with my family and friends, even though they're not all vegan. It doesn't matter, everybody has to try this, it's AMAZING! 😋 Hugs from the UK 🇬🇧🤗
This is genius! 😍😍 That cheese looks so yummy, without having any actual cheese! I am looking to become more plant-based, and I just discovered your channel! You are a brilliant chef! I am in love with your recipes. And about the cheese, how long do you think I can store it without it going bad? And do you have any storage instructions?
You are too kind! I am glad you think so and enjoy my recipes! In the blog post directions, I note the following: "If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or you can freeze them in smaller portions for a longer period of time." Hope that helps!
I am so glad that I came across ur channel,I'm @a critical time in life where change is so welcomed..So thank you for showing me a new way of life..I finally feel good about what I put into my body.(The Machine)/lol.
Great video! I've been having issues with making stuff that takes a bunch of rolling pins and yeast and yada yada yada yada yada yada yada but videos like this just might change my mind much love and many blessings to you
Made this cheese...it was EPIC. And it made SO MUCH. My son and I had nachos and cheese tonite. Perhaps quesadillas tomorrow 🤔
Haha yay! So happy you loved it Diane! So cute you both had snacks together. I think quesadillas sound like a delicious way to kick off the weekend 😋
Diane Love You are persuading me to try this sauce
Love cauliflower

@@ericvega3597 english can be their second language as is mine😊
@@chrisbutthurt1188 But nutritional yeast is dead bacteria. How can dead bacteria ferment the cheeze sauce? 🤔🤔

@Black Deerbra yeah. But, everyone associates them with nuts. It easy to forget what they really are. Just like a tomato being a fruit.
Heather Hughes yes, as soon as a recipe starts with “cashew nuts” I’m out. Can’t afford that stuff.
@@dragonmummy1 I can't afford Jackfruit.

I’d like the recipe to your casserole

I have been trying to eat as raw as possible. I cook a few things, here and there. I tried to make cheese sauce with nuts, and it tasted like nuts! The consistency was gross. I am making this tonight, and pouring it over steamed broccoli and cauliflower! Thank you, sweet lady for a great recipe idea! 🥰
Jackfruit and mushrooms are becoming great recipe builders.. I have been using sweet potato and carrots to make cheese, I have to use a thickener...But, this way it's sliceable. However, I can't wait to try it this way. Thank you so much for sharing..
Best cheese sauce ever! I used carrots instead of butternut on second attempt. Also added mustard. Yum
Nice.. easy. I am keto but want to reduce use of cheese and nuts.. this is great.. I will skip the bread but use as a base for a soup which I make every week..
I have tried making a veggie nut free mac and cheese sauce and it was good but no matter how much nutritional yeast I put it didn't taste like cheese sauce it just tasted like a really good slightly cheesy flavor veggie sauce because you can still taste the veggies in it but they do taste good just can't fool me to calling it cheese so I had to do my veggie cheese and add my creamed cashews or sunflower seed to make it taste more rounded to calling it cheese and sometimes even a bit of tapioca startch to give it a thicker pull to the texture
This tastes AMAZING! Thank you for another wonderfully delicious recipe! 💕
I'm so glad to hear that, Kel! Thanks for sharing :)
I like that you Add the yeastflakes after the cheesesauce cooled down a bit, so the vitamins stay in
Not just tasty but super healthy
This looks like an amazing alternative to nut-cheese sauce. I'm going to try it tomorrow.
I'm so happy you think so! I can't wait for you to try it!
@@RainbowPlantLife Well, that makes two of us. lol
@@jedinyte1 Not yet, I needed to get a squash but got sidetracked. lol I will probably try it before the weekend though.
@@jedinyte1 Brilliant! It looks fantastic. If you make it before the weekend, I think you'll emerge the winner. I look forward to your review. :)
@@jedinyte1 OK, I just had macaroni cheese with a sauce made from this recipe. I used smoked paprika so the cheese sauce had a touch of 'hammy' flavour but it didn't detract from the overall effect. This is a very tasty alternative to fermented nut cheese. Top marks!
Hi. Cannot wait to try this. Finding a plant based recipe that tastes like cheese is a real challenge. I have cured my Asthma with plants. And want to cure our daughter. Problem is real cheese is causing the problem for her. She loves dairy cheese. Hope this recipe works. Thanks for sharing. Will let you know if I can convert her and cure her Asthma too. :)
I need to try this! But it's difficult to believe it will taste like a cheese sauce and not just a delicious veggie/coconut sauce!😄
Im so thankful for you. Your are so amazing!!! I'm back to vegan few weeks now after falling off for a little. Feels good already. Thanks for this video
I just made this, was pretty good. Yes it does not taste like a "cheese sauce" but is a tasty substitute.
Made this today. It tastes really good! I don't think it tastes exactly like cheese, but I look forward to adding this to my meatless grain bowl tomorrow morning and spreading it on sandwiches!
I just made your vegan cheese for the first time tonite and it was soooooo delicious 😋!!!!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Rosalie!
I really want to try this. I've tried other vegan cheese sauces made with butternut squash before, but always found them to be sweet, which isn't something I look for in cheese subs.
My 5 year old ate 2 helpings of elbows with this sauce! Woohoo! Thumbs up!
That is awesome to hear :)
I am going to try that tempeh trick out next time (also the quesadillas...and the grilled cheese...lol) Everything looks so good!
Haha yes, please do try it all out :) Hope you enjoy it!
Nisha...You take food preparation to the next level. You "ROCK IT" sweetie.
I love your recipes Nisha!!!! I'm gonna try this now🤗🤗🤗. You are super inspiring!
Aww 🥰 that’s so sweet of you to say! I am so flattered :)
Those were amazing recipes. I've been experimenting with making bread like products without having to use any wheat or corn products.
Thank you so much! I am glad you think so :) So cool to hear you're experimenting with your own breads!
I love that recipe for you don't use any nuts.i'll give that a try.thankyou😊
Glad to hear it, Suse!
Coconut milk is high in saturated fat which is not healthy and is bad for your arteries. However, there is a substitute I recommend which is using oat milk and add a teaspoon of coconut extract to get that coconut aroma! Your body will thank you later in life. ☺️☺️☺️
Some lactic acid powder, mushroom powder, apple cider vinegar, and /or miso paste, will give it additional 'umami' flavor.
Wow. I'm not vegan but I will definetly give this a try. I think I ate a similar cheese sauce at Costco and it was amazing.
Hope you like it, Alma! Thank you!
My God I can listen to your voice forever ❤️
The sauce looks amazing!
I’ll try it for sure ✌️
I may try the sauce but jackfruit in a sandwich??? Definitely innkvative. Makes my stomach turn at the thought of eating that much at once though. I can only handle one pod of jackfruit at a time. I know others will love it. Nice video.
Can't wait to try the cheese recipe!! Just got my instant pot and maybe will pick up a new Vitamix Blender next week or so!!!
Hi!😀
How do you like your instapot?
I've been meaning to invest in one, but not sure🍆🍍🍐🍅
I was synical about making this purely because every other vegan cheese recipe I have tried has been a disappointment. Today I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try... and I'm so glad I did!!! After simmering the vegetables and transferring them to the blender I kept thinking 'how do all these ingredients mixed make a cheese sauce'?! I persevered until the very end and when I finally tasted it, I was like OMG! THIS IS DELICIOUS!!! It was like lightening had struck my brain!!! Finally, a vegan cheese recipe that actually tastes like cheese! Better than real cheese!!! Thank you so much for this, I had almost given up on the whole vegan cheese thing! I had the sauce with pasta and garlic bread, it was beautiful!! 😁👌
Do you have a recipe for solid vegan cheese? I've tried many recipes but none of them have been that great tbh. The recipes I have tried all use cashew nuts, not sure if that's perhaps the issue? If you have any suggestions about making solid vegan cheese I would be very grateful to you.
Thanks again for sharing this cheese sauce recipe, it is the BEST sauce I have ever made in my life! And it's healthy too, ticks all the boxes. I'm going to share it with my family and friends, even though they're not all vegan. It doesn't matter, everybody has to try this, it's AMAZING! 😋
Hugs from the UK 🇬🇧🤗
I am a new subscriber and I am absolutely loving your videos. They are so well put together, beautifully done, and full of fun and creative ideas.
I am so glad you are loving my videos, Jeanie! thank you for stopping by and for your kind words.
This is genius! 😍😍 That cheese looks so yummy, without having any actual cheese! I am looking to become more plant-based, and I just discovered your channel! You are a brilliant chef! I am in love with your recipes.
And about the cheese, how long do you think I can store it without it going bad? And do you have any storage instructions?
You are too kind! I am glad you think so and enjoy my recipes! In the blog post directions, I note the following: "If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or you can freeze them in smaller portions for a longer period of time."
Hope that helps!
@@RainbowPlantLife thank you so much!😊
