Get guilt-free cheesy goodness with this Vegan Cauliflower Cheese Sauce

I almost didn’t want to share this recipe because I feel like I could bottle this up and sell it in a grocery store. Cauliflower is my favorite vegetable because it’s so versatile and always checks the trendy food boxes (gluten-free, low calorie, keto etc.). I impressed myself when I perfected my Vegan Cauliflower Cheese Sauce (No Cashews) recipe because I was able to create an incredibly creamy and flavorful cheese sauce with some veggies and seasonings. Usually, when you make a “knockoff” vegan version of a non-vegan food item, you must put a little disclaimer warning that the item may not taste exactly as the non-vegan version. I can honestly say that no disclaimer is needed here. This tastes like actual cheese sauce…dare I say better?

In addition to being absolutely delicious, this sauce is also super easy to make. Just quickly cook your veggies, add to a blender, and blend until smooth. Like my Vegan Tofu Nacho Cheese Sauce, this recipe would work fabulously as a dip with some pico de gallo and sour cream but also really well as a topping on your steamed veggies (think cheesy potatoes). Can we also take note that this sauce is smooth and creamy without using a single cashew? I haven’t bought cashews in about 2 years with no plans to purchase them anytime soon. I have nothing against cashews, but they are expensive, high calorie, and high in fat. My work around: cauliflower.

I tested this recipe when we had a little New Year’s Eve get together at my house and this was a HUGE hit. The sauce was the perfect finger food to keep at the table while guzzling sipping on some champagne. It was non-vegan and kid tested with two big thumbs up.

I’m so proud of this Vegan Cauliflower Cheese Sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as I love eating it. If you made it, tag me on Instagram so I can see your cheese!
