Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon oil or butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1 heaping cup vegan cheese (cheddar or jack)
1/3 cup canned full fat coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 Tablespoon minced parsley
1/2 Tablespoon minced chives

To Serve

Directions
In a small saucepan heat to high. Place oil, applesauce, chives, and parsley.



Sauté the applesauce mixture until combined and fragrant.



Once the mixture is ready, add in coconut milk and bring it to temp.



Once warmed, add in your shredded vegan cheese and whisk to melt until smooth. Once your vegan cheese has combined into the sauce, add in blue cheese and whisk in. Your sauce is ready when everything is combined and the sauce is velvety.



Serve the sauce drizzled over homemade French fries or on the side to dunk. Sprinkle on coconut bacon to serve. Pairs nicely with any fry or other recipes that call for vegan cheese. You will want to make extra after tasting this sauce. Enjoy!
