Vegan Stroganoff
This Vegan Stroganoff is a warm, comforting bowl of goodness that's perfect for chilly evenings. I love how the creamy sauce, made from cashews and mushrooms, wraps around the pasta just right.
I remember the first time I made stroganoff; it was a cozy winter evening, and I was craving something hearty yet comforting.
I wanted to recreate that nostalgic dish without any animal products, and after a few tries, I landed on this creamy, dreamy vegan version.
The key is blending soaked cashews for that rich texture—trust me, it makes all the difference!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Soaking the cashews is crucial for that creamy texture; if you’re in a hurry, you can soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes. Nutritional yeast is a game-changer for adding that cheesy flavor without any nut milk (such as almond or oat milk), and it’s packed with B vitamins!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to make a big batch of the cashew coconut cream or cashew cream ahead of time—it keeps well in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
- •This dish is great for meal prep; just reheat it gently on the stove with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add spinach or kale for a pop of green and extra nutrients.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some sun-dried tomatoes for a flavorful twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, just add a splash of vegetable broth or water to keep it creamy.
Frequently Asked Questions
