Vegan Cauliflower Cheese
  • For this recipe we’ve teamed up with Hotpoint as part of their ‘Fresh Thinking’ campaign. We developed this tasty dish using using our new Hotpoint Mulitflow oven and Flexi Space induction hob.
  • For our breadcrumb mixture we use leftover stale bread, which is the most wasted food in the UK.

Creamy Cauliflower Cheese

Serves: 6 people Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 33-35 minutes 33-35 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • 250g / 8.8oz cashews
  • 1.5 large cauliflower heads
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 450ml / 15.2 fl.oz plant-based milk
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2.5 tsp Dijon mustard
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/2 slice stale bread, use gluten-free for gf option
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • handful of walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • handful of fresh chives

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F fan and leave the cashews to soak in hot water for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Break up the cauliflower heads into bite-sized florets. Transfer to a medium-sized roasting tray, season with pinches of salt and pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil. Mix, then roast for 30 minutes.
  3. Peel and dice the garlic clove. Then drain the cashews and add them to a fast-powered blender along with the plant-based milk. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the garlic, nutritional yeast, maple syrup, Dijon mustard and pinches of salt and pepper. Stir and heat the sauce through for 2-3 minutes until the ingredients have combined and the sauce has thickened slightly, then remove the sauce from the heat.
  4. Rinse out and dry the blender. Then add the stale bread, paprika, walnuts, dried mixed herbs, 1 tsp olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper. Blend into a crumb-like consistency, then leave to one side.
  5. When the cauliflower is ready, pour the cashew sauce all over it and stir until fully coated in the sauce. Scatter the breadcrumb mixture over the top, then grill for 3-5 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  6. Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the cauliflower cheese to serve.

Hello – I’ve seen you on FB and YouTube and I’m a big fan. Are there recipes out there that don’t call for cashews to make cheese? I’m highly allergic and what I found in the grocery stores have cashews. The only one without is the miyokos farmhouse cheddar and ciao. Any suggestions on what I could use to substitute in your recipe? Please help, I really want to make the wfpb eating a way of life, and thanks.

Hey Debbie! Ah thank you so much :). Yes absolutely – you can try using soaked blanched almonds or alternatively we often make a creamy vegan sauce using silken tofu. Hope that helps 🙂
