George This Vegan Béarnaise Sauce is so amazing because is entirely made of whole foods. It’s not just butter-free but oil-free as well, and it’s insanely delicious and oh so creamy. Surely one of our best creations ever. The key to making this creamy sauce is the cashews and the extra-firm silken tofu. You’ll love it!
Lately, we have been kind of focused on eating healthier and developing recipes using real food, which is whole foods, non-processed or the least processed as possible food, and this amazing sauce is a winner!
It’s so easy and quick to make, and it tastes like a dream with absolutely everything, from roasted potatoes, to a seitan steak 🙂
The secret to the making of this creamy sauce is the cashews. Did you know that you can make an excellent, creamy sauce using them? Cashew nuts are amazing, an excellent source of minerals and vitamins and they are delicious too.
We purchase our cashews from Buywholefoodsonline. Their products are affordable and of good quality. You can buy the cashews here.

Great recipe bearnaise sauce worked to perfection! Great result, amazing flavor.
Hi veganvvocals, I’m super picky about bearnaise sauce and I have to say this recipe is AMAZING! I honestly feel like I’ve won the lottery. Tastes 100% like bearnaise but it’s healthy?? I immediately called my sister to share. Next I’ll be trying it on the vegan filet mignon from your recipe book. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
