This sauce can be used for nachos, on a baked potato, for cheese toasties, with pasta, on a burger, or for whatever you fancy!
It can be stored in the fridge and heated up again, you may just need to add a bit of water.

  1. I love this recipe and it’s so easy!! I way prefer this cheese to any of the the standard vegan ready-to-eat cheeses available. Had this on nachos but will be trying out with many other recipes soon!

  2. I wanted to love this so much, but unfortunately recipes like these are the reason I can’t be a vegan. I’m a vegetarian who tries eat vegan as much as possible but this is so not even close to cheese. My nachos would have bee better without any cheese at all. I’m used to cooking with these ingredients but it was so off. I hate that I like cheese so much because that is the one thing holding me back from veganism, but so far I have not found a comparable substitute.
