I used to love cheese before I become a vegan and I don’t miss it at all because there are many delicious alternatives that are healthier and cruelty-free, everybody wins!
We know you also love vegan cheeses, that’s why we want to share with you this fat-free vegan cheese sauce, which is inspired in our vegan cheese that is one of our most popular recipes. As we’re following a low-fat vegan diet, we’re making low-fat or fat-free versions of our recipes and they taste amazing!
You can eat this cheese as a dip with tortilla chips or crudités, use it to make creamy fat-free vegan mac and cheese recipes, risotto or any cheesy dish you like. We use it all the time to make mac and cheese and also add some steamed veggies to get a tastier and more nutritious recipe.
Everybody loves this cheese, even the non-vegans! Our family and friends love it so much. ? If you’re searching for non-dairy alternatives, you definitely need to try this cheese, it won’t disappoint you!
Tips:
- Add your favorite unsweetened plant milk instead of the water for a creamier cheese.
- If you don’t eat soy, add some sea salt. If the cheese is too thick, add more water or lemon juice.
- Feel free to add onion powder, chili powder, black pepper or other herbs or spices.

Um, yum! I can’t eat garlic (sad, I know) so omitted it. I added cumin and used unsweetened coconut milk to make it creamy. So good!
Hi Kara. Sounds great 🙂 I am glad you liked it!
Texture was wonderful. I used half the amount of garlic powder called for in the recipe, and I felt it still overpowered the recipe. I will be making this again but without the garlic powder.

Hi! So glad you liked the texture 🙂
I can’t use Nutritional yeast! Allergy
Is there something else??
Hi Shirley! You could use brewer’s yeast instead of even some beer instead of the water 🙂
Thank you so much for this, and for adding the measurements in grams!
Hi Julie! You’re so welcome 🙂 I’m European so I use grams on a daily basis. Have a nice day!
Would this work with sweet pototes?
Hi pat! You could use it, but your cheese sauce will taste sweet 🙂
