Published March 22, 2012 | By Tia Tofu

There are tons of vegan cheese sauce recipes out there, many of which get very creative with the ingredients. This is just the basic cheese sauce that I use. It’s super easy and it only takes a few minutes to make… perfect. Pour it over veggies, baked potatoes, nachos, or french fries.

Like the name of this recipe suggests, it is a basic recipe. Feel free to add spices, herbs, jalapeños, etc. depending on what you’re making.

Here are some other ways to use this cheese sauce:

Basic Vegan “Cheese” Sauce

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cheddar Daiya
1 cup dairy-free milk (I highly recommend So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk in this recipe. It's thick & creamy, and perfect for "cheese" sauces)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
black pepper, to taste

Directions

Mix together the dairy-free milk and nutritional yeast in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil.
Add the cheddar Daiya and black pepper to taste. Stir constantly until the Daiya is melted, about 2 minutes.
