The BEST Vegan Nacho Cheese Recipe (it's super easy too!)

[@janicekrol8320]

This was the first recipe I made from your cookbook! I ALWAYS have a jar of it in the fridge. I add 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to give it a little kick 🌶 🌶🌶 Love it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes!! Love it!! Great idea to have it on hand :)

[@vanessaTheGrittyArtist]

Great idea! I was thinking it needed some spice👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@nappolisgirl]

Holy smokes. This is the second time I’ve made this. The first I had to modify because I did not have any miso. It’s a must! Totally struggling with my no dairy transition. This is a huge life changer for me. Thanks so much Sam

[@mylifesings]

I used this recipe for my homemade vegan pizza... yum. Thank you

[@TheEasyVegan]

Nice one Sam. I got a lil shindig coming up and I reckon I'll whip this out on my buddies. Thanks :)))

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you, Jules, but please don't whip your buddies with vegan cheese... that would be weird ;)

[@TheEasyVegan]

Bahahaha! They deserve it!

[@shariz2998]

Recently bought your cookbook and I haven't found a recipe that I haven't liked! Decided to buy the book since I had tried several of your online recipes and they were all amazing. Eating your best vegan chili and cashew sour cream right now-yum!! Thank you!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Wonderful!! So happy you are loving my book and enjoying my recipes so much :D

[@annieskinner8524]

Had this in a baked potato with broccoli last night and it’s such a good combination! Love this cheese!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awesome!! So happy you love it Annie :)

[@PlantBasedDads]

WOW!! I just came here to see what kind of toppings you put on your Vegan Nachos and now I'm pulling black beans out of my pantry!!! Girl, you are contagious. I just subscribed and I cant wait to go back and look at all your videos! Love your energy.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awww wow! Thank you so much! :)

[@jacquelinem717]

This looks so good! Also if anyone needs tapioca starch/flour WinCo sells it for cheap!

[@perrydimes6915]

All the best vegan cheeses (in my opinion) use tapioca starch, nooch, or miso paste (and lemon juice for the tang is also pretty much necessary). The genius here is using ALL THREE. This is truly, the ultimate vegan cheese recipe.

[@samueldiaz8374]

please share the recipe ingredients

[@1233-p5f]

We made nachos for dinner tonight and the cheese sauce was a hit. Thanks :)

[@marydidyouknow5826]

What a great tip for those of us who don't plan ahead well!!

[@seitanicgirl]

This is the recipe that got my addicted to your blog. It's still my favorite. It's great in burritos too!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww shucks! Thank you :D

[@eloradanan1837]

I did buy your cookbook a year ago and it now has so many of my "Go To" recipes! BQ Chickpea Dude Approved Salad and Big Ol Burrito Bowl I make every week!. I have many vegan cookbooks but yours is in my top five! I did try the nacho cheese sauce in the book, which is different that the one you are showing here. I will give this one a try! Thank you!

[@cindystrother7710]

Fabulous thank you so much for sharing

[@LaCocinadera]

Excellent!

[@sinceyouveaskedilltellyouw2241]

I've made this twice. It's amazing.

[@mariabenjamin8018]

I've been using one boiled potato and it tastes great but I'm going to try the tapioca flour :) Thanks!

[@AutoGuyBri]

You are so flippin loveable! Really dig these videos because I am new to this and am gradually trying to get more plant-based. This recipe will be tried this weekend and yes, I will let you know how it goes.

[@felicitasdieterle4563]

LOVE it, Sam!

[@jonstephenson5436]

This surprised me! I’ve probably made 1/2 dozen different cashew nacho cheese recipes that I didn’t care much for. My wife’s opinion is even stronger on the matter (hates them!) This one is a winner! Extra credit points if you have the 505 Brand green chilies in the jar from Costco. Add them right at the end after it finishes. So good!!

[@lilsunsprite]

Made this it was amazing!

[@erinbrooks5116]

Sam you’re an inspiration!!!! I love this!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you so much, Erin!

[@PorcelainLeigh]

If you have a high-speed blender, softening the cashews is not necessary at all. Just blend away!

[@avraepstein]

Oh wow!! This looks amazing - can't wait to try it out!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I hope you love it!

[@sarastone8235]

I actually love you for this recipe!

[@andreanunez9148]

This recipe was so good. I added more spice though. We did chili cheese tots with this cheese. 😋

[@heather7992]

When it's for nachos, I love to add the brine from pickled jalapenos and a couple of the peppers as well.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Great idea!!

[@delightfullydeanna]

I'm gonna use this when I make my vegan taco bell crunch wraps

[@LoremIpsumPeach]

That looks so good!!! I need to try this

[@carrierogers3701]

Sam what do you make for a Christmas Dinner ?

[@dejennerate]

Just discovered your channel today and I already know I will love it~ Adore your story (channel trailer thing) and your dog is precious. More dog! More awesome recipes! Can't wait to give this cheeze a try!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Welcome! Thank you so much!!! I hope you love the cheese recipe :)

[@michaelwestbrook2734]

Made it tonight and it was great! Thanks for the recipe!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

So happy you enjoyed it!

[@klopke36]

wauw this was so goed im gonna make a cheese with this with agar agar that sounds nice cheese i can put on my sandwiches

[@hamiltona7]

Can’t wait to make it. Stumbled upon your video and I love it

[@BetteTwain]

I just found your channel to realise I found the seitan steak previously. I subscribed and omg you’re making me hungry.

[@Barbvo]

The best vegan cheese I’ve tried so far! It was a little on the salty side for me but I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing

[@alliefern.]

Great video, I will have to try this!

[@kaptainajk9805]

SUGGESTION please put the ingredients in the bio.

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

Im Pescatorian and lactointolerant but i love nacho, so i should try this recipe!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes you should!

[@mariae6942]

Great recipe Sam! Thank you for sharing. I wanna have nachos today, now see what you started? 😊

[@Medli]

how did you read my mind?! i was thinking about how badly i wanted nachoes all day yesterday!! your version looks amaziiing

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I've been told more than once I have that power! Haha. I hope you love the nachos :)

[@ranu800]

This is the best! I will make it from now and eat it for lunch! I am looking forward to it because there are materials too!

[@VincentG123]

Eating it right now... DELICIOUS!!!

[@abigailpattenden3594]

This recipe is fantastic thank you for sharing your knowhow! Little tips like boiling the cashews for 10 minutes make switching to veganism that much more convenient and appealing, because as you said in the video it is easy, cheaper than store-bought equivalents, and the ingredients are long-lasting. Can't wait to try it!

[@cdog26hh]

What about cassava flour instead of the tapioca flour? Will that work?

[@ivybelle3337]

I cannot wait to try this! Looks so delicious!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I hope you love it!

[@ivybelle3337]

I'm sure I will!

[@Kasey3of5]

Ok, I am not vegan but I am super interested in vegan cooking (its like magic) so I try out a few recipes here and there. I tried a recipe for nacho cheese from another You Tubber that was supposed to be the end all. But it was so crazy horrible that i was like yeah never freaking again . However I took a gamble and made your cheese sauce. So glad i did! This stuff is freaking amazing, better than any vegan or non vegan cheese sauce i have ever tasted. Thank you Sam! You rock the house!

[@pthorpe6300]

This recipe is awesome! Maybe you could try making a vegan Camembert??? That would be incredible 🙌🏻

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Now that would be a challenge!! I will have to start experimenting...

[@seattlejayde]

Looks awesome!!!

[@yoli691]

Thank you so much for this recipe. 😘

[@vanessaTheGrittyArtist]

I love this recipe! Thank you soooo much! 💛💙💚

[@LLJerseyGirl]

Oh my gosh….yummy! New follower!

[@marciab1279]

OMG I just love her

[@mistythompson4961]

I make a similar recipe but with half white beans and oats to cut fat. It doesnt have exact same flavor but wondering if would work here

[@SJGINC]

I made this last night for nachos. When reheated, it was to firm. What would be the best way to make it a bit less firm?

[@Northern_Frost]

Yum, I guess Nacho's are on the Menu for this Saturday. Looks so much easier than other nacho cheese recipes I have tried. It would be awesome over Macaroni I bet. Thanks Sam!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes! It's amazing in macaroni too!! I hope you love the nachos :)

[@Choosefaithnotfear]

Quick question if the tapioca flour is old will it still work? When I followed the recipe the flour thickened the cheese but it never got gooey. Just wondering if maybe I did something wrong or if I need fresher ingredients. Thanks.

[@avthateck]

Not sure how I ended up here, but for you I would go vegan. That sounds creepy but I mean it in the most romantic way lol. Also you deserve more views !

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hahaha! Well, thank you! I hope you to do vegan :)

[@davidthescottishvegan]

I would go vegan for you if I wasn't already. But I don't live where you live and I am not into long distance relationship's.

[@well.thy.one.]

Lol cucks

[@gingeraday2502]

Made this today...great! Just great! I added jalapeños and some of the vinegar juice, OMG you’d never know! ♥️

[@daveedmunds1770]

HUGE fan of your recipes. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to cashews (all nuts really, except almonds). Is there a suitable replacement for the cashews (I am definitely going to try your sunflower seed mozzarella recipe)? Also, a cashew-less cheddar cheese recipe would be awesome if you ever decide to do one! Keep up the great work and I look forward to trying more of your creations!!!

[@munajedski]

That looks better than any nachos you can get in a restaurant. Yum!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay! So glad you think so :)

[@123Russp]

Awesome cheese!

[@robinmartindale9597]

Hi Sam!! I was wondering if you have a similar recipe without nuts? I have a cashew/nut allergy.

[@MiriFenske]

Already told you BUT I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN SO MUCH! 😍 Goals! So beautiful!

[@lisap8800]

yummmmmmm need to make this

[@tarathetruth]

Hey Sam! Why the agave or maple syrup for the vegan nacho cheese? What does that do

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Adds a bit of sweetness

[@tarathetruth]

Got it! Thanks!

[@annieskinner8524]

I'd love it if you did a mozzarella/cheese stick recipe! I've only found one with a homemade cheese online and I think yours would be better! And maybe a bit more fuss free!

[@LarizaO]

Annie Skinner I think she has one already!

[@annieskinner8524]

Lariza Ochoa oh my bad! I can’t find it! Link me if you find it!

[@LarizaO]

itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/melty-stretchy-gooey-vegan-mozarella/

[@annieskinner8524]

Lariza Ochoa ohhhh yes I love this recipe! But I’d love it if she made it into cheese or mozzarella sticks! Like the yummy breaded kind!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I've actually experimented with this before but haven't found anything I love yet. I will re-add it to my idea list!

[@scienceislove2014]

This colour suits you so much

[@BetteTwain]

No salsa?

[@shreelaxmi1000]

can miso paste be skipped?

[@conniedoiron5111]

Hi Sam love your energy and your channel, I'm not vegan but I will have to give this recipe a try. I do go vegetarian a couple days a week though. I am a work in progress.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

That's so awesome!! Every little bit helps, you're doing great!! I hope you enjoy my recipe and many more to come :)

[@moniqueonealYinYangBoss77]

OMG u just taught me how to make cheese love u

[@MadalinaZbranca]

I always forget to soak the cashews or other nuts or seeds too, but boiling them always does the trick :)) ! I always say that boiling nuts saves the day too! And yes, tapioca is essential to have a stretchy gooey cheese sauce!

[@vitaminb4869]

I never boil or soak any nuts. They all blend up into a sauce either way.

[@MadalinaZbranca]

Indeed, they blend into the sauce, but if you don't have a very powerful blender you'll find your sauce gritty, not smooth.

[@positivekarolina1260]

Awesome recipe! It alsooo is very interesting to watch you! Woop woop!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay!!!!!!

[@kimchiASMR]

😍😍😍 yum

[@mabe2995]

Looks great! Have you tested it on a pizza? 🤔

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I haven't used the nacho on pizza, but I use my mozzarella version on pizza all the time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHaYmp6Yqs96l9U

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you!

[@Haylane831]

what are you doing to the nutritional yeast explain please is there water in it or you got to put water in and what is that your using to squeeze the yeast ugh

[@user-pg9ps1co6h]

Would red miso work?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yep! It will provide a slightly different flavour and may colour the cheese a bit. Enjoy!

[@ameliajasso4938]

What can you use if allergic to nuts?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Unfortunately I don't have a great substitute.

[@danabrown6341]

You can try raw sunflower seeds 😊

[@Haylane831]

but how much nutritional yeast you didnt say

[@Osiwan960]

ok i have to say it...you look so good in this i had to rewind many times because i couldn't hear what u were saying, i was too mezmerized by your beauty!

BEFORE/ before you put that cheese n stuff on top if tou really want to blow your mind. Trust me 🤗💝👍. Greay show. Love me some Nacho Cheese Bega Style of coarse.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Absolutely! I do that sometimes too. Great tips!

[@derrickdodson8292]

I haven't made this one yet, but my husband and I have probably eaten our body weight in the loaded queso dip from your second cookbook. He likes a lot of it and SUPER spicy, I'm not that into spicy. So, I double your recipe for me every week, then quadruple it for him adding some insanely hot salsa for heat. We eat it on everything. Pizza, burritos, chips, steamed veggies...literally anything we can put chees on gets a bit of that stuff.

[@sinceyouveaskedilltellyouw2241]

Miso honey. Me love you long time.
