Super Smoky Vegan Cheese Sauce

This is one of our favorite home made vegan "cheeses," and is a fabulous comfort food addition to your daily menu.

If you own a high speed blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, this recipe can be blended for 5 minutes which will cook the ingredients and cause the thickening to happen from the addition of the cornstarch. 

If you don't own a high speed blender, blend ingredients for 1 minute or until smooth, then pour the slurry into a sauce pan and heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until thickened to your preference.
