MY FAVORITE VEGAN CHEESE RECIPE (dairy, nut and soy free!)

[@Sarah-Mae-Andrews]

Hi everyone, thanks for watching!! I just wanted to add that you CAN change the oil to water ratio. If you are looking for a recipe with less fat, feel free to add only a bit of oil, or none at all! Just make sure to compensate with more water c: I find it is best to use oil if you want to later use the cheese in something that is baked (such as mac and cheese), because it won't dry out as much as opposed to using only water.

[@leenaahmed4526]

Can I omit the nutritional yeast? If not , what is the alternative?

[@elyb4097]

@@leenaahmed4526 No, don't omit it. There is no alternative. That's the 'cheese' flavor.

[@ScoobySnacks7]

Hey, so the video says 1/4 cup nutritional, but the site says 1/2. Which do you use typically?

[@LarryRichelli]

I cannot believe the smart vegans still are using oil. As Dr Campbell says....NO OIL!

[@billjoe39]

INGREDIENTS: • 1/2 cup carrots • 1 cup peeled potatoes • 1/4 cup water • 1/3 cup olive oil • 2 tsp lemon juice • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast • 1/4 tsp garlic, onion, paprika • dash of mustard powder • 1 tsp salt INSTRUCTIONS: -- Cut the carrots and potatoes into smaller chunks. Boil them for about 8-12 minutes, until soft and can be pierced with a fork. -- While the vegetables are boiling, prepare the remaining ingredients by adding them all to a bowl and whisking them until combined. -- Last, pour all of the prepared ingredients into a blender. Blend everything on low to medium until everything is well incorporated and smooth. :)

I made this last night and can say this tastes almost exactly like the kind of cheese that the kids like on macaroni and cheese. It was very good. I serves it on broccoli and cauliflower. I don't think anyone would know it wasn't the real thing. I can see making this into a 'cheese' soup that everyone will love. Thanks a million.

[@somethingbeautiful71]

I agree with you. I saw this recipe a few weeks ago but thought it was too good to be true.

[@dreamymimiasmr8848]

wow that's amazing. thanks for making this comment!

Just tried this last night. Absolutely amazing. Best cheese sauce I’ve tried since becoming vegan last year. I’ll be making this a LOT! Thanks so much!

[@joeb4142]

I’ve been trying various vegan cheese recipes for the last 3+ years but never found one that fully satisfied me. I’ve got a rule not to taste these cheeses for 3 days to allow the flavors to fully mingle. Today was day 3 and I have to say I was STUNNED at how good it tasted. You really hit a home run with this recipe Ms. Potato. Definitely a keeper. I can’t thank you enough. 💗

[@Akshayhaha]

Should the cheese be left in the refrigerator?

[@joeb4142]

@@Akshayhaha Yes, definitely.

[@kittybeck151]

I made macaroni & cheese tonight using 1x this sauce & about 1 cup raw elbows (~2 1/2 cups cooked). It was awesome! Used 1/4 cup sunflower oil, organic red potatoes (peeled), Trader Joe's smoked paprika. Great flavor & texture like nacho cheese. Thank you for a new favorite!

[@an6350]

OMG MAC AND CHEESE the store vegan mac is so expensive, maybe making it with this would be cheaper.

[@heathersalazar6873]

OMG! I accidentally made this cheese tonight and it is the bomb. I originally want to make cheese but had some potatoes and carrots that I needed to use up and found this recipe and since I had all the other ingredients I decided to go for it. Much to my surprise, and delight, it turned out better than expected. Kudos to you, thank you for this

[@catirerubio]

This is literally the best cheese/vegan cheese sauce I’ve ever had!! Like seriously unreal how good it is! I used it on a broccoli and rice recipe! Unbelievable

[@ericchavez305]

I have been meaning to get back here and comment on this. YES! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!! Thank you for posting this!!! I have tweaked it a bit for our own personal tastes and whatnot. I 86'd the carrots. I feel like it adds a bitterness to it. I just used 1.5C of potatoes. Cut the lemon juice in half as well. I also did reduce the olive oil to 4 TBSP. Not much of a difference but it makes it easier to figure out the math on the saturated fat lol. Also, I use a heaping TSP of salt. In transferring the sauce from the bowl to my pasta, I dropped a bit on my shoe. Needless to say, my shoe was........DELICIOUS!!! Oh! And a timesaver I use now is spuds. Boxed potato flakes and no wait for the boiling to be done! (If you do this, the total water needed in the blender is 1 & 3/4C.)

[@somethingbeautiful71]

Indeed.

[@joeb4142]

Carrots are actually sweet tasting if you peel them.

[@teresalangford5766]

Did you use dried carrots or just added 1/2 cup more dried potato to the mix?

[@greenaphrodite1581]

Ok , was looking for a low cal cheese sauce as opposed to my usual nut sauce and this is outstanding. I subbed water for the oil too. Delicious! Will definitely make again and again!

[@averychan2341]

Love it love it love it. I cooked this for my non-vegan friends and they like it a lot. It's amazing how simple the ingredients are. Thank you so much!

[@somethingbeautiful71]

I just made this, it absolutely 💯 delicious! I tried another one a few weeks ago with cauliflower and butternut squash it was ok, more like a soup. This has the consistency of nacho cheese. I may need to make another batch. Thank you for sharing this, I have a lactose intolerance and this will make my tummy happy.

[@raemariaa]

I boiled mine in veggie broth and used the water for the mix.. yummy. I used it for a sandwich after making a buffalo jackfruit. This cheese works great. In my next batch I added vegan chorizo to it for a dip. Omgsh yummy

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

Can also try adding some tapioca starch, 1-2 Tbl for added creaminess and or soaked cashews 1/2 cup, looks pretty perfect as is, but just to play with texture, also red sweet bell pepper for added color and vit C, if you really want to get fancy. Throw it back into the pot and add a couple Tbl of agar agar and keep stirring till it thickens into a cheddar cheese ball. I love adding my cheeses to those plastic baking molds in any number of cool forms… roses, dragons, cute little piglets, refrigerate and turn onto a cool late, Viola!!,

[@valerie4912]

I did something similar the other day. Instead of powder onion and garlic I roasted 3 garlic cloves and half an onion which helped with the flavour a ton. ... I also added some almond milk (half a cup) just a tablespoon of oil and 3 tablespoons of water. Was fantastic! 😃

[@DanielleT77]

WHOA! I JUST made this after having tried over the last 2 yrs making various nut cheeses and cauliflower cheeses from videos online that were decent and so-so at best. I have been looking for a really awesome cheese substitute that was plant based (nut free for days when I want to omit fat) and this was easy to make (I'm not a chef for sure) and THIS came out delicious!!! I omitted the olive oil and replaced that with water. I can close my eyes and imagine it is the real thing. The consistency is close to be like melted cheese and the flavor is so very darn close. I put it over cucumber noodles! YUM! Thank you!

[@199Echo]

This recipe really rocks! I have made it several times and added a few spices at times for pazzaz; but why i am so excited to comment today is this: I use the sauce for many things, mac cheese among others, most times when making mac and cheese I do the noodles in the microwave and add the cheese later or when the noodles are hot and enjoy. If I have leftover noodles I usually store them without the sauce incase I decide I want the leftover noodles a different way, but today I decided to quickly use my cold noodles in the fridge and add some cold leftover cheese sauce to the top and microwave to reheat. I accidentally pressed 2mins which was too long cuz I only had a very small amount in the bowl...the cheese looked a little 'overdone' but when I mixed and ate it it was even more authentic!! It really really seemed to stick a little to the bowl and my fork etc...just like old fashioned cheese did!! so now I know to reheat the cheese a lil longer for mac and cheese and bam!!! even better than before...which was a huge surprise considering just how great the cheese sauce is!!

[@waterfallventures]

What other seasonings did you add for pizzazz? I loved this cheese but want to "spice" it up or make it pop more with flavor.

[@Galfam]

by far my favorite one so far. especially because my son is allergic to nuts so this recipe is perfect for him.

[@brittanibamrick9590]

Very good recipe. I used it as a nacho cheese and put some pickled jalapenos in it. If you do this, make sure you hold off on adding salt until after you've blended it and tasted it. Mine was a little salty because I didn't but still very good. Not TOO salty, just a little more salty than you would expect.

[@keishacarlies5172]

Thanks for making this video honestly! I been trying so hard to find a vegan cheese with no nuts 🥜 😘

[@consciousmoviereviews9730]

All of these ingredients are ok to freeze. You'll lose the smooth consistency when you freeze as the molecular structure changes, so blend it again when thawed to achieve a creamy spread again.

[@immortality33]

Can it be done without mustard powder or what can be use inside and can the olive oil substitute for a next oil like coconut or vegetable oil

[@Sarah-Mae-Andrews]

definitely! you can also use ~1/2tsp of yellow mustard too if you want, or just omit it all together. Same goes with the oil, I assume vegetable or coconut would work just fine. I've never tried it with either; the coconut may change the flavor slightly, but probably not by much. I also sometimes substitute some of the oil for more water if I dont need like a super smooth consistency.

[@aranyanifox4375]

Well, I had some olive bread that I made yesterday, didn't feel like cooking at all, and just sat there watching YT videos and wondering what could I put on my bread, feeling completely uninspired; then I saw this, got curious and made it, not expecting more than something quick and rather bland - and, hey presto! Along with some fresh, sliced tomatoes, it became a heavenly, thick, soul-food, cheesy dipping sauce for my bread and a very simple, quick and delicious supper! This is definitely going to be on my menu often, and tomorrow evening is a movie evening with my daughter, so this will be on the table again...
