Instructions

Drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly after soaking, then transfer them to a blender or food processor together with all the other ingredients except for the tapioca flour. Blend for a couple of minutes until very smooth and no cashew lumps remain.
Transfer the sauce to a pan together with the tapioca flour. Stir over a medium heat for around 3-4 minutes, until the vegan cheese sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Notes

* Make sure that the cashews are softened. To soften the cashews, you can soak them in water for around 4 hours, or simmer in a saucepan for 15 minutes. A properly-soaked cashew will come apart between your fingers.
