Instead of cashew cheese, you can explore alternatives like using plant-based cheeses made from ingredients like coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and starches. Additionally, you could opt for tofu-based sauces, creamy butternut squash or sweet potato purées, or storebought vegan cheese options like Daiya, Follow Your Heart, and Violife. Just make sure to use a recipe that is specifically formulated for the cheese substitute you want to use.
