Lizzo’s Recipe for Vegan Cheese Sauce Looks Like the Real Deal

Lizzo’snew Amazon Prime show,Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, is at the top of our to-watch list. And now, we know exactly what to munch on while we view it. Presenting Lizzo’s recipe forvegancheese sauce, which looks so much like the real thing, it’ll fool every dairy queen you know.

Lizzo is beloved on TikTok for her dance videos, music and funny commentaries alike, but herplant-basedrecipes just might be our favorite category. She shared the vegan cheese sauce recipe to her account with the caption “EAT UR FEELINGS WITH ME: cheezy takis edition.” The videos kicks off with her dousing a bowl of Takis in the dip while she says, “My kitchen dirty and I’m scared and anxious, but I made cheesy Takis.”

While the following how-to is a more of a guideline than a strict recipe, it still seems simple enough to partially wing on the spot in a taste-as-you-go sort of way. Instead of dairy, she uses Japanese yam andtofuas the base, along with someplant-basedvegan cheese. She uses nutritional yeast to drive the cheese taste home, along with alliums and dry spices for flavor.

While Lizzo serves her vegan cheese sauce over Takis, you could also use it on vegetariancn.manbetx ,烤干酪辣味玉米片, burritos, vegan cheesesteaks, veggieburgersand crudité platters. Read on to get cooking.
