Spreadable Chedda Cheese Sauce

Description

Who would have thought that only a few ingredients would yield a smooth and creamy sauce that is utterly addictive? We like this better than real cheddar! Serve it on tacos, burritos, mix with cooked macaroni or spread on top of baked pizza or tortillas. My kids even like it spread on toast. If you don’t have a powerful blender, see note below.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 5 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated onion
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp sweet or regular paprika
  • 5 tbsp Instant Clearjel

Instructions

  1. In jar of blender, combine 1 cup water and cashews. Blend mixture at high speed until completely smooth and no bits of nuts remain. Add the remaining water, nutritional yeast, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, salt and paprika, blending until very smooth.
  2. With machine on low speed, add the Instant Clearjel, blending until smooth. The cheese will take about 10 minutes to thicken completely. You don’t need to blend it the entire time. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then quickly blend again to smooth.
  3. Serve right away, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Tip: If you don’t have a powerful blender, soak the cashews in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes (or cool water refrigerated overnight). Blend water and cashews until completely smooth and transfer to a food processor to blend with the spices and Instant clearjel.
