I never knew what it was before trying this recipe either. But my local grocery Store Winco had in their bins, which was great in case I didn’t like the recipe.
Unbelievably good!!! This was so easy to make, and tastes like cheese. I love it, and will whip this recipe up when I am having friends over too!
Check with your doctor on that. Raw, unsalted nuts are a good source of protein. Don’t know your specific situation, but I think someone may have confused the salted nuts with ANY nuts. Most nuts can be bought in bulk at a health food store in the unsalted form.
Just made this tonight!! Tastes delicious but the consistency way wayyyy too thin. :( I followed the recipe for the most part, but didn’t have any almonds so I used more cashews. Was I supposed to soak the cashews first?! Thanks!! Excited to try more of your vegan recipes!! :)
No need to soak the cashews but the almonds truly make all the difference in consistency. They thicken it up a bit! Glad you enjoyed the taste despite how thin it was. Make sure to check out our Amazing Vegan Cheese Sauce, it’s divine!
