Instructions

  • Cook the cauliflower florets for about 12-15 minutes. They should be pretty soft. Put the cashews in a small bowl and add some hot water from your kettle. Let them soak until the cauliflower is done.
  • Fill all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the vegan cheese sauce becomes creamy and stretchy. Enjoy with pasta (like mac and cheese), with nachos, or on vegetables.
