Oh my God! I just made this sause for mac'n'cheese and hands down it's THE BEST plant based cheese sause EVER!!!! My family loved it too! I also subbed maple syrup for home made date syrop and I put twice less because it's much stronger and thicker than maple. I omitted onion powder as I don't have it and subbed for more garlic powder. Also used homemade raw coconut milk which did a good job. The only thing is that for my preferece taste it came out waaay too salty and peppery and I put less than what it says!

[@ChefJana]

Awesome!! :)

[@LuisA-sm2on]

I used cashews to substitute for the vegan butter and I was very pleased with the results! Thanks Jana!

[@ChefJana]

Sounds great!

[@carinecampier]

Thank you for the tip!

[@kathleenkaar6557]

Nice idea- keeps the economy f cauloflower, but with just a few cashews for the creaminess.

[@CharGC123]

I would do the same, have to avoid added fats for health issues.

This is great! I can't eat potato because I have kidney disease and I must keep my potassium at a very restricted level. Cauliflower is amazing.

[@peacetoall1201]

If you have kidney disease .. are you eating meat and dairy? .. because a lot of people have healed their kidney disease by going whole food vegan. Animal protein is very hard for the kidneys to process. Potatoes should be good for anyone to eat. Doctors don't know much of anything about nutrition. Many doctors tell diabetes patients not to eat any fruit, when in fact, fruit is healing food and helps diabetics to heal their disease.

[@miniwolfang9563]

@@peacetoall1201 I've transitioned to a vegan diet when I was diagnosed in 2018. I'm trying to maintain the health of my kidneys, but I am stage 5 at this point. I could coast here for a long time if I keep at it.

Good day. I finally got all the ingredients. Now the only thing I thought it was too sweet. I followed the recipe, not skipping anything. Do you think it would mess up if I lowered maple syrup and also the vinegar? Interesting taste.

[@suemedeiros800]

This was amazing! I doubled the recipe and added 1 cup of pasta water to make it smooth. I have no idea why it was lumpy. I have a very high powered blender. The taste of the cheese was so tasty.

[@daniellebarker7667]

I am going to try this with the addition of a small cube of fermented tofu for a bit of funk and vegan lactic acid for an extra sharpness. Hopefully it will make it a bit more cheddary.

[@createwithconfidence8094]

I used cauliflower for my last cheesy sauce. I used oats in it too. I followed a recipe I found. I did like it over the potato carrot sauce. But next time I make it I'll put the maple syrup in it. I have never eaten vegan butter. I'm trying to keep any processed food to a minimum in my WFPB lifestyle. I'll look for your vegan butter recipe next. Thank you!

I love a melted camembert cheese from the oven and I always noticed that a ripened cheese has some hints of cabbage or cauliflower. I am going to try a variation on this with some tapioka starch for an extra stringiness.

[@joe_razor]

Now I've actually tried it and what can I say? It was just as expected, came out perfectly. I added a little bit of oil to the mix and and the spices I used were rosemary and nutmeg, in addition to the ones you used. Next time I am going to add some glutinous rice flour to get it even more stretchy. But your base recipe was a perfect starting point 😊.

[@lindapb6529]

Nice an simple one. This looks good for making in this hot weather starting up already! I have to agree about the fat: Most of the fatfree cheeses and cheese sauces are not very good. It needs some at least; and one doesn't have to go overboard with it.

Agreed. :)

You said the vegan butter is essential, but I'd rather skip it to make it much healthier. Are there any alternatives to the butter I could use? Tahini? Cashews? Could I put a bit of butter in for flavour than fill out the rest with tofu, tahini or cashews etc?
