Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Cashews (raw, unsalted)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, fresh water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, turmeric, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Blend everything together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes, depending on your blender.
Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan over low heat.
Gently heat the sauce, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until it is warmed through and thickens slightly. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Serve the Vegan Hollandaise Sauce warm as a topping for steamed vegetables, baked potatoes, or other dishes. Enjoy your creamy, plant-based sauce!
