How to make Vegan Mac and Cheese?
- Keep aside two small ramekins after lining them with baking paper. Put 20g raw unsalted cashews soaked in boiling water for 1 hour, ½ tsp agave syrup, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1½ tbsp tapioca starch, 1½ tbsp nutritional yeast flakes, and 40g melted coconut oil in a blender to form a mixture for vegan cheese.
- Take a saucepan and pour the sauce in it and cook over medium heat. Make sure you keep whisking, or else the liquid will turn lumpy. Now turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. After that, pour it in the two ramekins you’ve prepared and cover. Next, put them in the freezer for 2 hours.
- Now heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Meanwhile, take a saucepan and boil water in it. Now cook 1 small roughly chopped carrot until soft. Next, transfer the carrot into the blender and set it aside.
- Boil the pasta in the same water you’ve cooked carrot, and while it’s boiling, add plant milk 400ml, white miso 2 tbsp, coconut oil 60g, onion powder ¼ tsp, mustard powder ¼ tsp, tapioca starch 1 tbsp, nutritional yeast flakes 1 tbsp, and essential salt ¼ tsp in a blender and blend well.
- After the pasta is cooked, add the creamy sauce to the saucepan. Next, take out the vegan cheese you’ve prepared and sprinkle it all over. Next, transfer the dish into a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes and then for another 15 minutes. Finally, vegan Mac and cheese is ready to serve.
Tip – You make the vegan cheese in large quantities and store it for later use also.
