Bechamel Sauce Recipe

A classic Bechamel Sauce Recipe can add a cheesy flavour to any recipe. It's super versatile and a classic sauce. I'm going to teach you how to make bechamel vegan!

Prep Time
5 mins
Cook Time
5 mins
Servings: 1 large serving
Cuisine: Vegan

Ingredients

For the Bechamel:
  • 3 heaped tbsp. of vegan butter
  • 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups almond milk
  • season to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Mountain Rose Herbs Nutmeg grated

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the bechamel, melt your butter on low heat in a medium-sized pot.  Once melted, add your flour, stir till a ball or more lumpy consistency appears.  Add your nutritional yeast and stir more.  Now, slowly add your milk and whisk aggressively while cooking on medium-high heat (the whole proces should take around 20 minutes).  Stir till you've added all your milk and a more silky smooth sauce comes together.  Add the nutmeg and stir even more!  At the last minute season to taste, remove from heat and set aside.

Notes

  • To make sure you use good quality ingredients, seriously though, that nutmeg ;)
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to help prevent sticking
  • Whisk and whisk until your arms fall off - this will help you achieve that perfect silky smooth consistency
  • I highly suggest doubling this serving size, the sauce is just that good!
