Or itвЂ™s why we add a rind of hard cheese to the broth of a simmering soup to add that depth of flavor. ItвЂ™s why we put a pinch of parmesan on top of our spaghetti. Savoriness/UmamiД¬heese is also pretty salty and savory.

Therefore, Rule Number One for our vegan mac and cheese is that the sauce has to be extra creamy and slightly stretchy. This is the best part right? ThereвЂ™s something so satisfying about the smooth, velvety texture of cheese. It was only after more than a year of trying to make the perfect vegan cheese that I finally realized that instead of attempting to slap together something that vaguely resembled cheese using a million different ingredients, it was more helpful to distill the characteristics that make cheese so delicious and go from there. IвЂ™d approach each new attempt at making vegan cheese, or each new product from the store, with such enthusiasm, only to be really disappointed later on. I donвЂ™t mean to sound harsh here because there are a lot of satisfying substitutes out there, but I remember struggling to give up cheese when I first went vegan. Real cheese is something that is really hard to imitate, and I donвЂ™t care how many companies proclaim that their vegan cheese tastes вЂњjust like the real thing,вЂќ itвЂ™s usually not true. Vegan cheese is equal parts art and science. Plus, itвЂ™s so easy and can be used in any other recipe that requires vegan cheese! We hope you guys love it as much as we do! Our recipe, which we think is the best vegan mac and cheese weвЂ™ve tried, is an amalgamation of many different vegan cheese recipes weвЂ™ve experimented with.

IвЂ™m so excited! I have been waiting for a long time to post this recipe! There are so many vegan mac and cheese recipes, and so many methods for making vegan cheese sauces out there that it can get pretty confusing to choose one that is truly as satisfying as traditional macaroni and cheese.
