Vegan Mushroom Casserole with Cashew Cream and Parmesan Cheese

Ok so clearly I’m going through a vegan casserole baking phase. First starting with my zucchini and sweet potato gratin (vegan of course) and now onto this vegan mushroom casserole recipe.

I’ve just decided to turn the classics vegan.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I mean I love a good cheesey baked dish, but let’s face it, my body and I both know I feel so much better when I am not consuming dairy.

I clearly used to be in denial of this fact for years. My teens and early twenties for sure (at 26, I’m charging closely towards my late twenties at this point).

But now, there’s no more tricking myself. While I do love cheese, I realistically know that my body does not and I feel the effects every time I eat it.

But why give up cheese based dishes?

No reason, right?

So instead I have opted to recreate the normally cheese and dairy laden dishes but this time completely vegan, without any animal products whatsoever.

And guess what? They are still creamy, and delicious. While not exactly a replica of the standard mushroom gratin, this veganized version is the next best thing.

With a home made cashew cream that is a replacement for the sour cream/mayo mix I normally would have used the creamy layer of the gratin is still in tact.

Instead of shredded sharp cheddar a vegan Parmesan cheese (also homemade) is generously sprinkled on top.

Pop that into the oven and 30 minutes later you’ve got yourself a delicious vegan mushroom casserole style gratin.

It always amazed me how certain veggie just completely shrivel up when cooked — spinach and mushrooms specifically. I used two full packages of mushrooms, 20 ounces total to make this vegan mushroom casserole and I could have used even more.

So feel free to use as many mushrooms as you can for this delicious vegan mushroom casserole. Takes a bit of time to put together but definitely worth every minute of effort.

    I really think that mushrooms are amazing and wow, this recipe is absolutely delicious! It’s very creative that you used cashew cream as a replacement for the mayo mix. Love this recipe!

      Thanks so much! Yes cashew cream works as a great vegan replacement for what you would have normally used sour cream/mayo for. And the vegan Parmesan cheese is the perfect topping.
