<\/a>Kite Hill Ricotta<\/a><\/strong>\nIf you’re vegan or lactose intolerant but love the taste and texture of cheese, Kite Hill is for you. It’s made with almond milk instead of cow’s milk, but this substitute resembles the real deal, it’s uncanny.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sweet Potato Sauce<\/strong>
\nYou can turn a sweet potato into a creamy cheese sauce that makes a great substitute for mac and cheese, nachos, or a gratin. Chef Chloe has a wonderful recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Cashew Cheese<\/strong>
\nMake your own cheese substitute at home using\u00a0raw soaked cashews and nutritional yeast. You can season your cheese a number of ways, and it makes a good spread or sauce for a pasta. Nutrition Stripped has a good number of recipes<\/a> for cashew cheese.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Pesto<\/strong>
\nUsing pesto instead of cheese is a great idea\u00a0if you’re making a sandwich or pasta. Stick to a classic basil pesto, or opt for something a little more adventurous like sun dried tomato or kale almond.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Zucchini Cheese<\/strong>
\nIn addition to using cashews, you can also make your own cheese spread using zucchini, which is a great option if you’re allergic to nuts. This option is useful\u00a0if you’re a fan of cheese slices! Although it’s dairy-free, it’s not vegan, as it contains gelatin.\u00a0Real Food With Dana has a delicious\u00a0recipe<\/a> you can try.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Daiya<\/a><\/strong>
\nWhether you’re making pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a plate of nachos, Daiya cheese is a great choice because\u00a0it comes shredded and melts like regular cheese. You can even choose the type of cheese you’d like\u00a0such as mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack.<\/p>\n
