I don’t know if making a cheese sauce from sweet potatoes is actually a thing in the vegan world, but it really should be. Yesterday I was in the kitchen making things up as I went along and discovered that cashews + sweet potatoes + spices makes the most insanely delicious cheese sauce that reminds me a lot of Velveta (who am I kidding, I’ve been vegan for a decade and have no idea what Velveta tastes or even looks like, but I imagine<\/em> this is what Velveta is like!). It’s so creamy, cheesy, and the perfect orange color. My favorite part, though, is how healthy and unprocessed it is \u2013 the #1 ingredient is nutrient-packed sweet potatoes, with some nuts, spices, and almond milk. <\/p>\n

I could think of a million ways to use this sauce (nachos come to mind!), but the reason I developed it in the first place was for baked mac and cheese and it really shines here… slather it onto some cooked macaroni with peas and bake until golden on top for something pretty ridiculous: <\/p>\n
