 Spicy, Creamy Nacho Sauce If we can have creamy, rich nacho cheese sauce without dairy, why wouldn’t we? Using a hack I learned way back in the 1990s, well before decent vegan cheese came onto the market (quick shout-out to friend and OG vegan Jo Stepaniak and her life-changing Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook for the ingenuity behind it), that potatoes, carrots and a select other ingredients together can make a pretty fabulous cheese sauce. Add the seasonings you want, plus some cashews for thickness and texture, and you’ve got something you will be able to take to any gathering and get heaps of compliments. If you are seeking a thinner, more pourable sauce, add more broth; if you’d like it to be less spicy, pick a mild salsa and dial back on the chili powder and cayenne.
