Salsas, Sauces, Spreads & Seasonings Endless Tasty Possibilities

This cashew cheese has multiple uses. You can store it in the freezer to have on hand for convenience, and yet, it just takes five minutes to make. It resembles batter and, when cooked, thickens to a rich consistency. Drizzle it over dishes like vegan pizza, enchiladas, or lasagna, or use it as a topping for sweet potatoes or yams. Its possibilities are endless. Cashew cheese is a great batter for dipping vegetables and “frying” them in a nonstick skillet without oil, making them browned and crunchy, or as a batter with bread crumbs, as with Zucchini Fritters.
