ingredients for Easy Vegan Cheese Sauce
- Vegan Cheese – To make this quick and easy, I’m using store-bought Vegan Cheese. I like the Cheddar Shreds by Daiya or Follow Your Heart the best, but you can use whatever you like. You can also dice up some sliced cheese as well. If you don’t like to use store-bought Vegan Cheese you can use my Tofu Cheese Sauce from my Mac n’ Cheese recipe, or my Potato Cheese Sauce.
- Unsweetened Plant Milk – If you just melt vegan cheese on it’s own, it’ll be way too thick. So I like to thin it out with plant milk, make sure it’s unsweetened. I like using Ripple the best, but Oat Milk would work too. I would try to avoid Soy Milk as even the unsweetened variety can be sweet.
- Seasonings – Beyond that, you can add any seasoning you like, however I’d urge you to do so sparingly. Things like Onion and Garlic Powder can really overpower the sauce.
- Tapioca Starch – I used to add a tablespoon of Tapioca Starch to thicken mine, it also makes it a little stretchy, but there’s so much starch in most vegan cheeses that I don’t think it’s necessary. But if you want yours to be thicker and stretchy, then go ahead and add some.
how to make an Easy Vegan Cheese Sauce
You can either use pre-shredded Vegan Cheese or you can dice up some slices if you like as well. Either way, add the cheese along with the plant milk. Start with 1/4 cup or milk and add more as needed, as all vegan cheese is different and will be thicker or thinner depending on what you buy.
Continuously stir the cheese mixture until it melts, adding any milk as needed. Once it’s melted and the consistency is where you like it, taste and adjust for seasoning. If using things like Onion or Garlic Powder, add a very small amount as they can over power the sauce.
Enjoy on Nachos, or with a Cheesesteak!
