Notes
Use unsweetened dairy-free milk to make the sauce. You don't need any sweetness in your cashew cheese. You can add water instead of dairy-free milk.
To make the sauce super creamy, soak the cashews overnight or for at least two hours in water. However, if you are short on time, 20 minutes in boiled water will do too.
