Yes! We like the creaminess that the coconut milk gives in addition to almond milk, but you can use just almond milk if you’d prefer.

How do you make alfredo vegan sauce from scratch without parmesan?

Follow this recipe! There’s no parmesan, but instead just a bit of nutritional yeast for that rich, umami taste you get from traditional cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

In a medium stockpot, warm the oil and the garlic over low heat JUST until the garlic is fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium and add the flour. Cook the flour, stirring often, for one minute.
Slowly add the almond milk while whisking well, so that the almond milk and the flour make a thick paste after each addition. (I highly recommend using a flat-bottomed whisk for this step.)
Add the remaining ingredients and keep the sauce at medium. Cook for 5-7 minutes and the sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Serve as desired, or over chicken and fettuccine noodles!

Notes

Craving dairy free chicken alfredo? No problem! Prepare fettuccine noodles according to the package and make your choice of Slow Cooker Chicken, Oven-Roasted Chicken, or even Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Breasts. Toss with the sauce and you’re good to go!
