Loading ...This coconut milk based “cheese” sauce is fabulous for pasta, and it also makes a great topping for broccoli, asparagus, potatoes and other veggies. It’s a great veganized version of your childhood mac and cheese memories!
Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked wheat, rice or quinoa macaroni
1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut milk (We use So Delicious brand in the green carton.)
¾ cup nutritional yeast
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons vegan butter (or olive oil)
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon white or black pepper
½ teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon stone ground mustard
Parsley for garnish
Preparation
1. Cook the macaroni according to instructions.
2. While the macaroni is cooking, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a pan and sauté over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture starts to thicken. Note: the mixture will continue to thicken as long as it is being heated. If it gets too thick, just add more coconut milk.
3. Pour the “cheese” sauce over the macaroni. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with fresh or dried parsley.
Chef’s note: If you want an even richer cheese sauce, use coconut creamer instead of the milk (So Delicious original flavor).

This was delicious!! I loved it!! Thanks for posting this recipe. :)
Oh thank you a lot!! I really really hope I can try their products soon!! :)) Looking forward to it
I’ll let you know as soon as I try the recipe another time ;)
Hi Sabrina!
Awww… bummer! Let’s see, last year So Delicious launched their product in special packaging that doesn’t need to be refrigerated. I just checked and it looks like you’ll be able to get it soon on Amazon. (We’d love it if you make your purchase through the Amazon link on the Yummy Plants shop! :) )
You can also email the company for more info at info@turtlemountain.com and their Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/sodeliciousdairyfree
Hope this helps! We love So Delicious products – they really are so delicious :)
Oh damn, I just made it and obviously used the wrong kind of coconut milk. Well, I doesn’t taste too bad but I guess here in Germany I can’t get the So Delicous coconut milk :(((

Hi Cassandra,
Oops – yes, I think you were using the wrong kind of coconut milk. Did you use the one from a can?
This recipe actually calls for the coconut milk in the carton…. which actually has a way different texture and flavor. Try the unsweetened So Delicious coconut milk in the green carton. And if you want an even thicker “cheese” sauce, you can use the So Delicious coconut milk creamer. Let me know what you think – I LOVE this recipe – and I hope it works for you :)

I really wanted to like this! Maybe we used the wrong kind of coconut milk? We buy our coconut milk from the Asian market. I’ve been vegan for a little over a year and one of the only things I miss is creamy mac&cheese. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Made this on Monday and took it to work for lunch all week! I subbed cayenne in for the curry powder, since it’s what I had on hand. I also added a whack of steamed broccoli. Absolutely amazing – thanks for sharing!
This sounds delicious! And it would be even cheesier if you added Daiya to the mix – two of my favourite companies in one recipe, heaven!
Thank you!
That looks incredible! Thanks so much for sharing! We can’t wait to try this!
