Introducing the BEST Gluten Free & Vegan Cauliflower Cheese on the internet!
Strong statement I know!! It’s a recipe I have been struggling with for 2 years but I have finally nailed it.
I just don’t see how anyone can top this recipe!
It’s incredibly simple to make, full of flavour and will totally impress your family/friends.
So if you yourself are gluten free, dairy free or vegan or hosting a guest this Christmas who is then this is the perfect side to impress.
It’s so rich in flavour I don’t think anyone will notice that it’s totally dairy and cheese free.
WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE ABOUT THIS CAULIFLOWER CHEESE:
- Super Easy
- Comforting
- Extremely tasty
- Simple Ingredients
- Family friendly
- Gluten & Vegan
Using these simple ingredients available in most supermarkets.
I simply slice the cauliflower into 4 chunks ready for boiling.
Yes I keep the leaves and core on and here’s a few reasons why
- Reduces food waste
- Adds texture and flavour
- Increased nutrients
- Brings colour and makes it stand out
- Speeds up the recipe
That’s a win all round!
Due to having to make my own “cheesy” sauce it’s taken me a while to master this recipe.
This sauce could be used in other recipes too such as pasta!
It’s creamy and so tasty without actually using any cheese.
If you suffer with a dairy allergy like myself then you have probably missed a good cauliflower cheese.
Whether it be over Christmas or even your weekly Sunday roast.
Well this is the BEST dairy free cauliflower cheese out there!
As a result it comes out the oven bubbling just like real cheese.
The golden baked colour and smell will make your guests drool!
