For years, Daiya fans clamored for the cheeze sauce from Daiya Cheezy Mac. They wanted more of that convenient, allergy-friendly sauce for pouring on vegetables, nachos, and other pasta dishes. The company listened, and released Daiya Deluxe Cheeze Sauce in their most popular flavors: Cheddar and Alfredo. And they later released a brand new flavor, Zesty Cheddar.
Daiya Deluxe Cheeze Sauce is Shelf-Stable and Ready to Serve
They waivered on how to package Daiya Deluxe Cheeze Sauce, at one point considering jars. But Daiya decided to keep it in packets, and sells them three to a box. Each packet contains two 1/4 cup servings – so each box contains six servings in total. They’re pantry-ready and oh-so convenient since you can squeeze them straight from the packet! They’re ready to serve with no ingredients added.

I was a little leary about vegan anything...
My Mom is allergic to dairy and on Mother’s day I wanted to make her some mac and cheese because she used to really like it. So I looked for a good vegan cheese sauce and found Daiya cheddar cheese sauce. I added burger, tomatoes etc. Poured it over macaroni, I had to thin it out a bit ( I used oat milk) it came out so nice and creamy, and nobody could tell it wasn’t real cheese at all. I would definitely use it again.
Too processed
The flavor isn’t bad, but the consistency is plasticky.
Add a little almond milk
I didn’t love the flavor of the cheddar daiya cheese sauce at first, but then I thinned it with almond milk, and it was perfect! It also makes each packet go further.
