Cashew Free VEGAN Cheese Sauce!

Let’s be real…what’s the best part of nachos if it isn’t the cheese sauce? The main comment I hear from folks who are just transitioning into a plant-based lifestyle or who are simply trying to eat less dairy is, “…but, I just love cheese so much!” Me, too, my friends! Me, too! The dairy free cheese sauce that I used on this dish also makes a great sauce to top Mac ‘n Cheese or to make your own at home hamburger-helper casserole.

Dairy Free Peppermint Cheesecake

I’ve always kinda shied away from cheesecakes at home because they seemed so finicky. Line the pan with foil, bake with a hot water bath, magic spells to chant while it’s cooling so that it (fingers crossed) won’t crack…seemed like too much work BUT this recipe is the opposite of all that. Throw everything in a stand mixer and you’re off to the races! (And, for the record, yes…mine did crack, and it was STILL delicious! Best part of this recipe is that it works just as well if you’re planning to do a traditional cheesecake and are not worried about it being dairy-free.
