I've been checking out your page for about a year now and this is my favorite recipe of yours! I am a huge foodie, and I love food with big bold spicy flavors and cream sauce is basically a requirement for living. I LOVE your entire site! You are my go to when it comes to making vegan dishes. SO, to achieve that cheesy flavor, we are going to use vegan parmesan! I know it has nutritional value, but I can't get past the weird flavor. I know I may stand alone in the vegan community when it comes to my opinion on nutritional yeast, but that stuff tastes NOTHING like cheese. This is going to make the sauce super creamy and give it that cheesy texture.Īt this point, other vegan recipes would call for a butt-load of nutritional yeast. TSV TIP: My favorite vegan cream cheese brands are Trader Joe's, GoVeggie, Tofutti and Kite Hill. Next, we'll add in some non-dairy milk (unsweetened, of course - we don't want vanilla flavored sauce) and vegan cream cheese.Ĭream cheese is another ingredient that I think vegans have mastered. TSV TIP: My favorite vegan butter is Earth Balance. When making traditional mac, you start off with a roux - butter and flour. I don't know about you, but the thought of making potatoes and carrots into a cheese-like substance sounds pretty far off the mark.Īnd that's why when creating this recipe I went back to my roots. I have tried tons of recipes, and there is just always something 'off' about them. Mac and cheese has been the single hardest recipe for me to recreate.
