Creamy Vegan Béchamel Sauce

Rich, creamy, and incredibly versatile, this plant-based sauce made with KWERKY milk powder is the perfect addition to your favorite pasta dishes, lasagnas, or even as a luxurious topping for steamed vegetables. With a delicate balance of flavors and a velvety smooth texture, this dairy-free alternative is sure to satisfy. Whether you're embracing a plant-based lifestyle or just want a healthier option, this sauce delivers comfort without compromise!

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare KWERKY m*lk: In a bowl or jug, mix 2 tbsp of KWERKY powder with 200ml water until smooth. Set aside.

    2. Make the roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter (or heat olive oil). Once melted, whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste (this is your roux).

    3. Add the KWERKY m*lk: Gradually pour in the prepared KWERKY m*lk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue stirring as the mixture thickens.

    4. Season: Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if you like a slightly nutty flavour. Continue stirring until the sauce is creamy and thick, around 5 minutes.

    Serve: Use immediately in your favourite pasta dishes, lasagna, or as a sauce over steamed vegetables.
