A vegan, cheese flavored cream sauce made from cashews and nutritional yeast. This simple, healthy, and delicious cashew cream sauce can be made in 5 minutes!
Soaking your cashews is the key to this recipe and all other cashew-based sauces. This will soften the nuts and will help create a smooth even finish. I placed raw, unsalted cashews from Trader Joe’s in a bowl, covered them with water, and let it sit for 3 hours. After draining and rinsing the cashews, they went into my food processor with garlic, salt, water, and of course nutritional yeast.
Blend baby, blend!
