    This vegan sauce is surprisingly easy to make with a high power blender it comes together in minutes.

    The base of this easy vegan Hollandaise sauce is actually cashews even though you’ll find a lot of vegan recipes that use tofu. We believe cashew is a better sub for a richer creamier texture. 

    However if you have nut allergies and need a nut free version we like this tofu variation.


    Ingredients

    Easy Vegan Blender Hollandaise Sauce
    • Raw Cashews - Raw cashews are best for this recipe for a neutral flavor. Roasted nuts will overpower the sauce.
    • Plant-Based Milk
    • Dry Mustard
    • Turmeric - add yellow color you would get from using egg yolks
    • Lemon Juice - to add tanginess
    • Nutritional Yeast
    • Cayenne Pepper

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. (No need to soak if using high power blender).

    Step 2: Start blender on 1 and continue increasing speed to 10. Blend for 5 minutes. The sauce will be hot. Carefully remove lid!

    Step 3: The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.

    Enjoy immediately or pour in 18 ounce size jar and save for later, reheat to serve.

    Equipment

    High Power Blenders like a Vitamix or Ninja Professional blender.

    Substitutions

    Use Vinegar Instead Of Lemon Juice In Hollandaise?

    Don't have fresh or bottled lemon juice? In a pinch white or apple cider vinegar can be substituted.

    You can skip the turmeric, it is mainly for that sunny color.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is Hollandaise Sauce Vegan?

    Classic hollandaise sauce is not vegan. Traditionally the sauce is made with butter and egg yolks. However we have veganized the classic recipe.

    This rich and creamy sauce is made from cashews and a butter substitute instead of egg yolks.

    Can I Make Hollandaise Sauce In Advance?

    Hollandaise is meant to be served warm. Since making the hollandaise in a blender is so fast, we usually make just before serving the meal.

    However, you can make Hollandaise sauce a day ahead of time.  Refrigerate until ready to eat, and then reheat it for about 10-20 seconds in the microwave.

    Does Hollandaise Sauce Have Dairy In It?

    Yes, traditionally hollandaise is an blend of egg yolk, melted butter & lemon juice. This recipe however is an non-dairy version of the traditional sauce.

    How To Serve:

    • Baked Potato With Broccoli And Hollandaise Sauce
    • Over Roasted Potatoes
    • Over Sautéed Green Beans
    • Artichokes
    • Asparagus - steamed, boiled, or grilled

    Storage & Reheating

    Leftover hollandaise sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 / 5 days.

    The sauce can be reheated in the microwave in 15-second intervals; stirring in between, until warmed throughout.
