Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 block Silken Tofu the star ingredient that provides incredible creaminess and smooth texture
  • 1/2 cup Liquid (vegetable broth or water) adds a silky consistency; adjust based on thickness
  • 2 tablespoons Miso Paste contributes umami flavor and saltiness; opt for gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast gives an authentic cheesy flavor; adjust for desired richness
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Onion enhances overall taste; fresh minced versions can offer more intense flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic enhances overall taste; fresh minced versions can offer more intense flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Silken Tofu Cheese Sauce
  1. Begin your creation by placing the silken tofu in your blender. Add your choice of liquid, miso paste, nutritional yeast, granulated onion, and garlic. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
  2. Check the consistency of your Silken Tofu Cheese Sauce. If too thick, add a splash more liquid and blend again for about 30 seconds.
  3. Taste your sauce! Adjust saltiness with more miso paste or increase nutritional yeast for cheesiness. Blend again for 10-15 seconds.
  4. Pour the sauce over your favorite dishes, or gently heat in a saucepan on low for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  5. Allow leftovers to cool, then store in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to five days. Gently reheat to enjoy again.

Notes

Best served freshly made, as the sauce tends to lose quality when stored for long periods. Reheat gently to prevent separation.
