This simple yet elevated recipe for vegan strawberry sauce was originally shared with us by chef Mark Reinfeld, author of Vegan World Fusion Cuisine, and several other plant-based cookbooks. Today, we’re giving this recipe post a big update! He created it to serve over vegan cheesecake, but it’s delicious on dairy-free ice cream, too. Mark adds his own special touch to this simple recipe with a few unique ingredients. He also leaves chopped strawberries throughout and avoids thickeners, to let the fruit flavors shine. He says this recipe works well or making other fruit sauces.
