Vegan Pizza Cheese

Casey
This vegan pizza cheese is as close as it gets to the real thing! It is super easy to make and results in a gooey melty cheese, perfect for making dairy free pizza. 
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Course Side Dish
Servings 1.5 Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 3 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth (the mixture will be liquid).
  • In a sauce pan, over medium heat, pour in the cashew mixture. Heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring consistently to avoid clumping or burning on the bottom.
  • The mixture will thicken, turning into a melty cheese. At this point, scoop and spread on desired pizza and bake in the oven as normal. Or, save the cheese in the fridge and reheat later on the stove - stirring continually and adding small amounts of water as needed.
