Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measure them precisely using standard measuring cups and spoons.
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the tapioca starch is completely dissolved and no lumps remain.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, continuously stirring the mixture with a silicone or wooden spatula.
- As the mixture begins to heat, it will start to thicken and become more translucent. Keep stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and stretchy in texture.
- Once the sauce reaches a thick, stretchy consistency that pulls away from the pan, remove from heat immediately.
- Transfer the hot cheeze sauce to a serving bowl or storage container. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Let the sauce cool for 2-3 minutes before using, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
