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
- 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
