Creamy Cashew Cheeze Sauce

I used this sauce over a bowl of steamed broccoli and pasta to make "mac and cheese". So yummy!
Ingredients:


  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 3/4 cup non dairy milk
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/8 cup miso
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp truffle oil (optional..but amazing!)
Directions:

Place cashews in a large sized bowl of the food processor and finely grind- just don't let the cashews turn into a paste. Add nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt, garlic powder and white pepper. Pulse three more times to blend in spices.

In a heavy saucepan, combine milk, cornstarch and oil. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Decrease to low-medium, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, or until cornstarch dissolves. 

With the food processor running, gradually add milk/oil mixture to cashew/nutritional yeast mixture. Blend for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Next blend in miso, truffle oil and lemon juice and the sauce is ready to serve!
