Vegan Cheese Sauce with Nutritional Yeast

I have been noticing that I am having to pull things away from my eyes to read them. Going to bed early is never early enough. And, to make matters worse, there is chatter amongst my High School classmates making plans for our 25th reunion! I’ve refused to age my whole life, I’m not about to start now! Help!

What You’ll Need

1 cup Hot Water

1/2 cup Raw Cashews or Raw Almonds, Blanched

1/2 cup Pimento, Including Liquid

3 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tsp Salt

1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast Flakes

1 small Potato (Peeled, Cubed, Cooked & Hot)

1 1/2 cup Millet or Rice (Cooked & Hot)

How to Make Easy Vegan Cheese Sauce

In a small sauce pan, boil 1 small potato (peeled & cubed) over high heat. The potato is ready when a fork easily slides in and out of the potato.

In a separate small sauce pan, cook 1 1/2 cup millet or rice.

While the potato and millet/rice are still hot, blend 1 cup hot water and 1/2 cup raw cashews or blanched raw almonds in a Vitamix.

Add the following ingredients one at a time, blending between each one: 1/2 cup pimento including liquid, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes, hot potato, and hot cooked millet/rice.

You should have a small swirl on top when done. If it’s too thick, you can thin it with hot water until you reach the desired consistency. It will thicken as it cools.
