Easy Vegan Mozzarella Cheese Sauce
Pizza is my favorite food so going gluten and dairy free was rather difficult. After trying every gluten and dairy free pizza and hating it, I took to making my own but couldn’t find any store bought vegan mozzarella cheese that I actually liked. Also, most of the store bought vegan cheeses are extremely processed with a few questionable ingredients. This mozzarella recipe is not only the best vegan mozzarella I’ve had, but its super easy to make and I can finally have pizza again!
Ingredients:
1.5 cups raw cashews
1 cup filtered water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder
Option: 1/4 tsp each of garlic and onion powder
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend! If no high speed blender, soak cashews in hot water for about an hour before blending.
Favorite ways to eat:
1. Great on pizza! Put under the broiler for a minute and it will get crispy and brown like regular cheese! My favorite crusts are:
Siete almond flour tortillas (SO good and a healthy low carb option)
Gluten free bagel, english muffin, or french bread
Cauliflower crust—purchased frozen from a health food store
My homemade Pizza Muffins/Calzones
2. Add to pasta dishes. I love to do half this half Kite Hill ricotta for lasagna.
3. Pour on top of eggplant or chicken parm before baking.
4. Freeze any extra in a tiny mason jar and thaw out in the fridge overnight! You could also freeze in little balls (on a sheet pan before combining them or they’ll all stick together!)
