I just made this sauce and put it over veg pasta with marinated mushrooms and it was so kind of wonderful.

I made this sauce last night and dipped broccoli and celery into it and it was heavenly. So easy too! I made it with half cashews and half sunflower seeds. Super yum :)

As I made this sauce I blended it on high in the Vitamix for a few extra minutes. This process heated it just a bit. I poured it over my “taco” and Blam!!! Yummie. I had it for three days in a row. This really satisfied my cheese need:-) Thanks so much for this. Next I’ll try pouring it over marinated, dehydrated or raw broccoli. That sounds yumie toooo.

i made it with pumpkin seeds and put a little beet in to make it more red. I also didn’t use the yeast, I don’t think that it is raw. Thanks for this great recipe!

I made this exactly like the recipe except I added jalepenos and it tasted just like nacho cheese! I ate this on sliced tomatoes and jicima but it would be amazing with dehydrator corn chips or other mexican food.

I soak my cashews for 2 hours, then make this delicious cheese sauce. The first night, our family warmed up some broccoli in the dehydrator and had this cheese with it. It was soooo awesome!! Now we make it to have on hand in the refrigerator, so we can snack on it with our veggies (carrots, celery, broccoli, etc…). Love It!!! Thanks for posting this awesome recipe! Tried to give it 5 stars, but the computer would not let me. Just know this recipe gets 5 stars from us!!!

This is very good. It reminds of Melty Cheeze Sauce I used to make as a cooked food vegan. I made it with soaked cashews like Simplyraw, and added some jalepeno pepper. I think this will be really good with cauliflower rice and tomatoes. I’m going to dehydrate some overnight to see how it turns out.

I made this today and I was so excited! It’s taste is reminiscent of cheddar cheese. I was really surprised! I really miss cheese so this is going to be a new favorite. I put it on sliced tomatoes and baby carrots. I also experimented and made some zucchini noodles with my saladacco and put the sauce over the noodles to make like a pasta with alfredo sauce. It was quite good. I decided to sprinkle some dried red peppers for a little extra heat. Yum! Next time I will use Jalepeno.

I’ve made this a few times when I wasn’t craving something sweet. Very good!

We made this last night and had it with veggies. We are making it again tonight to have with tacos fresca.

This cheese is great!!

I made this yesterday – soooooo good! I took it to a friend’s house for a party, dipped some veggies in it and OMG yum! I got positive feedback from the vegetarians who tried it, and it definately does taste like a cross between hummus and cheddar cheese. The texture is exactly like hummus. I left out the nutritional yeast from the recipe because it grosses me out, and the recipe was just fine. I might even try this recipe with an orange bell pepper instead of the red for some real “cheese” color.

I have been eating this along with flax cracker for two week now I kid you not, Lunch and Dinner

I made this yesterday, intending to use to dip veges …it was So Good that I just ate the stuff! (I didn’t use any yeast). Made a double batch today – spread some on a romaine leaf then topped with the bbq beef recipe and rolled it up—Oh My Gosh!!! soooo good.

This cheese is GREAT. Thanks so much for the recipe. I have some dehydrating right now—will see how it comes out in the morning.

im making this tonight to pour over my “herb crusted steak” ( that recipe is on here ) how did the dehydrating turn out?

i cannot WAIT to try this…i’m actually really excited about it…lol

i put this all over my veggies and its the best meal ever!!! i looooooove this cheese

I used soaked cashews, tossed it over diced yellow squash and subbed 2 small hot peppers instead of bell pepper. Topped it off with some mashed avocado to add some coolness…..delish!!!

i just made this tonight, on burritos with ‘spanish rice’, ‘refried beans’, guacamole, and fresh salsa in collard leaves. it rocked my socks off. completely off! SO good. except i used brown rice miso instead of the brewer’s yeast. tasted just like cheese, though!

i wonder if pine nuts would work?

i am really surprised at how much this tasted like dairy cheese. i used half cashews and half sunflower seeds and soaked both, and it turned out incredible. i really appreciate this recipe; it will help a lot with cheese cravings.

I made this today and put it over zucchini noodles and OMG! wow, so mo freakin’ good! I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. My sister whos very picky and eats SAD, loved it!

This is SOOOOOO good. It really does taste like cheese. I cut zucchini into little macaroni shapes and I am enjoying some mac and cheese right now.

I did a lil’ happy dance after taking a lick of this sauce. I think I might be in love with you.

I tried this tonight and put it on raw burgers (sunflower) and “mashed potatoes” (cauliflower) and it was sooo good. Thanks for sharing this.

Used this as a pasta sauce with a little extra water. Very good…will definitely try again. I suggest a dash of cayenne and black pepper.

I’ve been vegan for a few years now and must say that, out of all the raw and cooked “cheddar” sauces that I’ve tried, this one is my favorite.

Included an extra garlic clove, substituted two jalapenos for the red pepper, added a generous dash of cayenne, and tossed the lot with a bowl of broccoli. Am midway through said bowl as we speak and suspect that I will be very, very sad when it’s gone.

This was SO good!!! (my sis also add flax seeds to this, dehydrated it and made crackers) i then used them for croutons in a ceasar salad!

What a wonderful cheesy sauce! I like that there isn’t oil added to the recipe. I didn’t have quite enough bell pepper, so that may have made the salt seem more prominent. I probably was able to produce 1/3 of a large bell pepper, using red and yellow pepper leftover pieces I had chopped from a previous meal. I did find my result to be a bit salty. Then I added half a serrano pepper, a dash of cayenne and an entire scallion bunch to make it a spicy nacho cheese.

This recipe is great! Even my non-raw son loved it and asked for more…he actually said he could get hooked on this stuff.

I made an account just so I could say how much I love this stuff. I dragged my non-raw, though health-conscious mom in to try it, and she said “Now, I have to doubt that this really tastes like cheddar…” When she had a taste, she looked at me and said “Oh my gosh. It’s real!” I had to laugh. Anyway, I am in love with this stuff!

I just made this and it is awesome! I had to add jalapenos to mine-I like hot stuff! I left out the nutritional yeast too. I’m going to use this as a spread for my roll- ups. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!

I have just made it….OMG! is so good… I love it and I have to say a big THANK YOU..just eaten half of it on celery sticks and it so go…think you got the picture I’m liking it…but its so good…

BOMB.COM!

yum! i didnt have a pepper, so i used a bit of an orange instead, it turned out great.

Mmmmm…. this was so good!

Do you think this would make a good dip?

I made this with a tomato and almond butter instead of a red pepper and tahini and my subs ended up making it gross. Tonight I’m doing it right and following the recipe! Can’t wait!

I ate this sauce on some warmed broccoli last night and today for lunch I had it on zuchini pasta with lost of pepper! Awsome. I’m making some raw bread tonight I’ll have to try it on that. Thanks!!

This is absolutely fantastic. I was really missing cheese and I think this will help me with my transition.

I made the recipe with pecans. Brought it to a party that had no interest in raw or healthy eating and put it out without a word. It was the hit of the party and about 10 people asked for the recipe! I will cut the sea salt by 2/3 next time, it’s a bit salty for my palate. I’m not 100% raw so this morning I used it as a dip with hard boiled eggs, and as a spread on whole grain toast. Equally great both ways.

I really love this! My vegan boyfriend desperately misses “hot cheetos” and I promised to figure out a raw version for him. I think this just might be a good place to start! Thanks for the recipe!

YUM!

I had this last night for dinner and I have been thinking about it all day today. It was by far the best damn cheese sauce I’ve had since giving up dairy 8 years ago. Thank you!

I didn’t use the nutritional yeast as it is not raw, so it wasn’t cheesy, it came out like a roasted red pepper dip. Remember that stuff? Maybe I put too much red pepper, but it was really gorgeous tasting anyway!

Oh my god. I haven’t had cheese in like. the longest time because i’m lactose intolerant and wow it was so amazing i have been so happy all night

I cannot wait to try this! I want to use it on the butternut squash noodle recipe! I was craving mac n cheese all weekend!

I made this last night and was enamored. This is so yummy and has many different uses. For me the salt amount was a little much so next time I may cut it back some, but otherwise is was divine!

I am new to raw and can’t wait to try this! sounds soooo good!

nutritional yeast is not raw!

even though nutritional yeast isn’t raw, it’s not dead. it has live cultures in it and has vitamin B12, which raw vegans need.

i have heard that unless the nutritional yeast is fortified (not all are) is doesn’t have that much B-12 in it.

I tried this tonight and it was great! Looking forward to it for lunch tomorrow.

rachel- the point of nutritional yeast is for the cultures not to be alive. Because i’ve read that if the cultures are alive in nutrtional yeast, they will cause intestinal parasites. Actually I remembered this was on brewer’s yeast so I’m not sure about the nutritional yeast.

I just made this and it really does have a cheesy taste..Left out the nutritional yeast though.. Delicious!

I made it today and it’s really good! I used jalapenos instead of bell pepper and half of the salt. Next time I might add some tumeric for color. It already tastes like cheddar spread, why not make it look like it too! :-)

I just made this cheese and it is so delicious! All of my children loved it. They wanted to lick the blender! Then they wanted to just eat it by the spoonfuls out of the bowl. A definate hit! Thanks for posting this.

I am sitting here at work eating my salad and wishing I could just have some cheesy dressing…I am counting down until I can get home and make this! I have some Ani Phyo Sun Burgers left over that are calling out for cheese.

i tried this before. tasted just like cheddar! very good. although i added too much bell pepper and came out a little bitter

This recipe truly deserves five stars. I didn’t think it was possible, but it tasted like freaking queso!

I just made this and it is quite delicious! Had to modify it slightly, since I only had Lewis Labs Brewer’s Yeast, which I don’t think is raw. But I’m transitioning and its what I had on hand, so . . .

=)

This is almost exactly the recipe I have for cooked vegan cheese sauce. I’m very glad I came across this, ultimate (raw!) nachos are in my future…

HOT DAMN, THAT’S GOOD!

made it today with 1/2 pine nuts, 1/2 cashews, YUM! This is one of those reasons I have “45% calories from fat” days.

This is one of my favorites, i make it all the time. I just recently used this sauce to make crackers and it was just like a cheese-it, i use half cashews, half sunflower seeds, more salt, and 1 green onion, and jalapeno for spice. this one is a favorite for my husband who loves cheese!!!

ok, I’m new to the world of raw and I have to say that I had my doubts, but this is delich!

I have only been raw a short time and other “cheeses” have just not been right. This, however, was right on! It was amazing! I put a little jalopeno peppers in it to spice it up a bit. OH MY, so good!!!! I made some zucchini pasta and cut up some carrots and broccoli and put on top of pasta, then poured the cheese sauce on top! OH so good! My husband said he felt like he had eaten a meat meal, he is not raw (only partially, breakfast and most dinners). He keeps asking when I am going to make it again! :-)

pine nuts or sunflower seeds would both work :) I’m making this today with sunflower seeds and no yeast.

Oh, wow, this tasted phenomenal! I had it in broccoli cheese casserole last night, and I just ate the rest of it chilled as a dip for raw crackers. YUMM!
