  • 1 large onion 
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of flour 
  • 2 tablespoons butter 
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Fry the onion and garlic until soft. Add the vinegar and stir until dissolved. Leave to cool.
  • Put a pot of water to boil, and add the macaroni once the water is bubbling. Reduce heat and simmer for the time stated on the packaging, then drain.

Van Leeuwen is an ice creamery from New York that has a new flavor you must try—mac and cheese! The product was born from a collaboration between Val Leeuwen and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Could it be the next hit or a total miss?

“We know that there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than ice cream,” Emily Violett, Kraft’s Senior Associate Brand Manager, said in a press release. “That is why we wanted to combine two of the most iconic comfort foods to create an ice cream with the unforgettable flavor of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese we all grew up with.” As she further notes, the new ice cream is made with “high-quality ingredients” without any “artificial flavors, preservatives, or dyes.” The color and the flavor come from Kraft’s cheese sauce mix.

Could it really be good? It’s definitely not for everyone. The brand has a variety of vegan options and this is definitely not one of them. It’s absolutely unique and worth trying just for the sake of novelty. And who knows, they may start a trend of savory ice creams which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Imagine all the possible combinations!

There are many variations of vegan mac and cheese right now on the internet. Although all of them are good in their own ways, if you want to make one that actually tastes cheesy, creamy, and looks just like regular mac and cheese, this is the recipe for you. The best part is you can easily make it gluten-free with just two substitutions!

Ingredients

For this recipe, you need pasta, garlic, all-purpose flour, any type of vegan milk, and nutritional yeast. If you are making a gluten-free version of this recipe, just use gluten-free pasta and arrowroot powder instead of flour. For the spices, you can just stick to salt and pepper, or add in some paprika or even cayenne for a good kick.

Steps

  1. If you really like garlic, roast a whole head of garlic in the oven for 45-60 minutes. If you don’t care, you can skip this step.
  2. Boil the water to a boil, and while you are waiting, start frying up some garlic.
  3. Add the flour and whisk.
  4. Slowly add in the nut milk and continue whisking. It’s ok if the sauce is lumpy!
  5. Transfer to a blender with the roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, and spices.
  6. Heat again with the pasta and serve!
