I made a post a bit ago asking for a vegan copycat of Taco Bell cheese sauce. Most of the suggestions were bean/veggie based (not hating but I wanted something a little bit unhealthier). But one person shared a really awesome sounding recipe with some ingredients I needed to order. While I wait for those I decided to try my hand at a Tofu based sauce. I blended the heck out of some form tofu, added salt, jalapenos (and juice), nooch, tumeric, garlic and onion. It came out pretty good!! Its not exactly what I need but it scratched the itchy while I wait for those ingredients to come in. Anyway I wanted to share for anyone else craving those chemicals and plastic like me. I didn't measure anything but just go with what you want out of the flavor. I'll post the other sauce once I try that!!

Really appreciate these posts as the plastic-y unnatural orange goo is also a personal favorite of mine. Good luck with the next round!
How long do you have to blend firm tofu to get it this smooth? I’ve only read some recipes for tofu based creamy sauces, but they all used silken tofu and I can’t find that where I live.
Lactic acid would be great in this to get the tanginess you’d expect from a cheese sauce.
I’m invested in your quest for an excellent Taco Bell Cheese sauce 🙂 Thank you for the tofu version update,I love the colour and texture, so I’m looking forward to the one that you’re going to make, when the ingredients arrive, so please be careful of the porch pirates 🍀💖
