dash of salt and black pepper(I use Himalayan pink salt)
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Heat on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until all the vegan cheese has melted.
Remove from heat. Toss with cooked pasta or steamed broccoli (or both!). You can also drizzle on tacos, nachos, sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, and more!
Notes
Don’t want to use store-bought vegan cheese?Double up on the nutritional yeast and add a dash of onion powder, garlic powder, and ground turmeric. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Don’t like coconut? Swap it out for another dairy-free milk of choice, such as almond, oat, or soy.
If you don’t have nutritional yeast on hand, it’s okay to skip it if you have plenty of dairy-free cheese shreds. I think the nutritional yeast just adds a touch of flavor + good-for-you ingredients such as vitamin B12.
If you don’t have two types of vegan cheese, you can load up on just vegan cheddar cheese.
For a Mexican-style cheese sauce, stir in some cumin powder and some diced tomatoes and/or roasted bell peppers and onions. You can also stir in some salsa for an extra kick. I’m drooling already. The choices are unlimited and always delicious!
