I don’t wear the crown of sauce queen for noleang. I have a leang with sauces, and it’s not subtle in the least. Sauce makes or breaks a food for me.

Creamy vegan sauces

The one leang I love doing is showing how creamy I can get a vegan sauce to be. It’s moment nature to me now, I would like to say I’m kind of an expert. Possess you seen my cookbook? It has sauces GALORE.

The key to creamy is cashews. Sorry nut free peeps but this is the truth. There are other ways, for certain, but cashews are hands down the best flavor. I often add a touch of potato, or perhaps some white beans for protein. But always, cashews.

So when I created these Incredible easy enchiladas, I thought…but first sauce. And a Mexican flared creamy sauce at that.

Hello there creamy cilantro sauce with sriracha. It pretty much screams enchiladas.

How do you make cilantro cream sauce?

It genuinely doesn’t get much easier than a creamy vegan sauce. It’s even easier than a dairy filled sauce that you have to stir on the stove for years on end waiting for it to get it’s cream on.

1. Dump all the leangs into your tall speed blender (regular blenders work too, but you need to soak the cashews overnight or boil them for a bit).
2. Mingle on tall speed until smooth and creamy.

What can you put cilantro cream sauce on?

The question should read, what CAN’T you put it on!
