Vegan Tofu No- Cheese 
I had to find a more affordable non-dairy cheese recipe that does not use almonds or cashew. I live on an island and these are quite costly here so with that I decided to try my hand at a tofu based cheese. Success! It was much smoother and thicker than almond and cashew cheese sauce. It is adaptable to taste so it worked out! Hope you like it. Remember to taste as you go along and make it to your liking.




What you will need:

  • Blender (Food processor or a Vitamix-best)
  • 1 block of firm tofu (not silken...ewwwww)
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil (only use if you use almonds or tofu)
  • lemon juice ( 1 whole freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves of garlic ( can add one more if you want to pack a punch)
  • Roasted Red peppers (optional if you want the color or just have white sauce- great for Alfredo)
  • 1 cup of hot boiling water
  • Sea salt(to taste be as generous but not too much) 
  • 4 table spoon nutritional yeast flakes

Directions

Combine tofu, garlic and hot water in the blender or food
processor or vitamix and blend until smooth. Caution! Lemon juice gives the sharp cheddar taste so add 1/2 of whatever amount you squeezed and then add little by little until you achieve the sharp cheddar taste. Next add the
rest of the ingredients. Now remember if you prefer sharp cheddar like
I do you will need to use more almost all of the lemon juice or mild
taste only use half of the lemon juice. Add and taste as you go along.You can add roasted red
peppers to the mix as well. Add enough to get the cheddar cheese
color. About one of the pieces should do. Blend until smooth!.
Taste before adding the salt. Salt will kick it up another notch!

You can use this sauce to make vegan mac-n-cheese or scalloped potato
and let me tell you it Ohhh so gooooood! Check out my recipe coming

enjoy this cheeesy oh so good vegan no-cheese recipe! Enjoy!
