I love me some nacho cheese sauce, And my dairy free cheese sauce will not disappoint! Made with cashews, nutritional yeast, vegan yogurt, spices, bouillon, tapioca starch, pickled jalapeños and some grated Daiya cheese.

I’m telling yah, it’s the BEST cheese sauce for nachos! OMG!

The cheesy flavour will blow you away! And it’s not just for vegans people! Vegetarians and meat eaters love this vegan cheese sauce!

All you need is your Nutra Bullet or a quality Blender and a pot and you are ready to rock! Well and some tortilla chips and your appetite, lol😄

How to make Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce:

Add all ingredients, except chopped pickled jalapeños to your Nutra Bullet or blender and process until smooth. I don’t soak the cashews for this recipe and it works great! Super creamy!

Now add the sauce and chopped jalapeños to a medium heavy bottomed pot set to medium heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer and whisk continuously for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serve warm with tortilla chips, loaded vegan nachos, burritos, quesadillas, or any mexican inspired dishes, or potatoes, over pasta,…etc! Enjoy! For full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card below.

Notes

• if you want it even cheesier feel free to add another 1/4 cup or so of Daiya cheese
• or if you would like to omit the Daiya completely, substitute 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast
• I use my Nutra Bullet for this recipe and it works perfectly! (the big cup)
