Vegan White Pizza Sauce is a tangy garlicky recipe that makes the most flavorful base to a pizza that will meet all of your culinary needs.


Is there anyone who doesn’t like pizza?  I mean, it is so versatile.   I’ll admit I didn’t try pizza until I was 15 years old but I think I’ve made up for it in all the years after that.

One of my missions is to come up with ten very different recipes for vegan pizza. Maybe even more.  That’s how much I like it.

There are two links posted with pictures down below this recipe so you might want to check them out too.

Pizza is fun to make and fun to eat.  It’s kind of a creative outlet to have your crust/dough all laid out as you start to add layers.  Anything that comes to mind.  Just about everything works and the combinations seem endless.

My next pizza is starting with a white sauce that is packed full of flavor.  That is this recipe that I am posting here.  The sauce starts with cashews and ends with chopped fresh herbs.

Are you intrigued?  Click here for my Vegan Veggie White Pizza Recipe and you will see how I used this Vegan White Pizza Sauce first.

I say first because I have discovered it is really good used in other ways too.  Use it as a sandwich spread on bean burgers or veggie hoagies and you will be very happy.

You can also use it as a dip and dunk vegetables to your hearts content.  Let me know if you find another delicious way to use this sauce.  I don’t want to miss out!

Recipe Notes

IF FREEZING:

Package in rigid sided containers as defined in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer 1/2 cup freezer jars would be ideal. You can take out one or two jars to defrost when pizza night is approaching.

TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:

Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator overnight because it is a pretty solid mass and will take longer to defrost. Ready to use when defrosted. This is also a great vegetable dip.

  7. Do we have to use the yeast? Would the recipe work w/out it? Thank you, it looks & sounds delicious.

  9. We love it! Found that we enjoy it with a little more garlic, nutritional yeast and lemon juice as the nuts are so sweet. Thank you for the recipe that will be one of our favorites on just about everything.

  12. Thanks Sharon – I fixed it. There is not cooking. Yes, you suggested some wonderful ways in which to use this versatile sauce. As a dip would be really great!

  13. Do you cook this sauce? No mention of bringing it to simmer, but your freezer instructions says to cool to room temperature . Did I miss something? I’ve got it blended smooth and it tastes wonderful. I assume if you use it on pizza or top lasagna it would all cook together. But what about veggie dip?

  15. I was wondering how many cups it came to once finished. I want to use it for my spinach and artichoke lasagna instead of marinara!

  17. Everyone should!! and great news – it also doubled up as a potato salad “cream” sauce!! it was delish! my lactose-intolerant friend really enjoyed it as she hadn’t eaten a potato salad in years!!

  19. I made this last week – it’s amazing! My first vegan pizza attempt with your pizza sauce, bbq sauce, peppers and onions – it was the best! I will definitely be making this more often. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

  50. I love a good white pizza! This sauce sounds so good…almost like a garlicky ranch…yum! Can’t wait for the pizza recipe!!
