    Vegan Margherita Pizza With Cashew Mozzarella

    Homemade Vegan Margherita Pizza Recipe. 20 Minute Pizza crust, 5 minute Pizza sauce and a creamy cashew mozzarella cheese sauce. Vegan Soy-free Recipe. Gluten-free and nut-free options.  Jump to Recipe

    Our Vegan Margherita Pizza on marble

    Sometimes you just want a ridiculously good pizza and the pizza restaurants are too far away, have shut down, or offer sub par vegan experience. Then you just go to the kitchen and whip up a super fresh delicious margherita pizza with gooey cashew cheese, all made from scratch.

    You can speed up the process by either making the components ahead of time or using store bought options. With a store bought pizza sauce, this pizza comes together in 20-30 mins and then you have to wait and fight over the fresh slices. The recipe is easily doubled!

    The pizza dough (its my easy 20 minute pizza dough) doesn’t need much kneading. Just bring the dough together and let it rise for 15 mins, then shape it using some flour. This dough is shaped easily as it does not have much gluten development (which develops with longer kneading) and hence is not the stretchy traditional pizza dough, so no struggling to roll it out!

    The pizza sauce is a few ingredients.  The cashew mozzarella cheese sauce is the sauce from my Mushroom Quesadilla. Just blend, and simmer to thicken, and use. No chill time to let it set. The final result we want is a cheesy melty topping, So keep the state as thick saucy to begin with! problem solved.

    This pizza and the mozzarella is adapted from my margherita from Everyday Kitchen book. The mozzarella recipe in the book can be set into slices, or balls or whatever and used wherever. Lets make this version for your pizza fix.

    Ingredients for Vegan Margherita Pizza

    • This easy Pizza sauce needs tomato paste, olive oil, minced garlic, italian herbs , onion powder, salt and pepper.  Or use a store bought pizza sauce or marinara.
    • Pizza dough needs just 5 ingredients: active yeast, water, flour, semolina, and salt. Or use a store bought dough
    • Mozzarella Cashew cream uses cashews, garlic, onion powder, salt, miso, lemon juice, olive oil and flour or starch for thickening.
    • Gluten-free: Use my Gluten-free pizza crust options(listed just above recipe), Use rice flour in the cashew cream for thickening.
    • Nut-free: Use one of my nut-free alfredo sauce. Thicken the sauce with a few tsps flour if needed and then scoop spoonfuls on the pizza.

    How to make Vegan Margherita Pizza from scratch

    Preheat the oven. Soak the cashews for the mozzarella in hot water if you havent already. Mix the warm water with yeast and 1 tbsp flour. Mix well and let sit for 2 mins. Mix the salt and semolina into the rest of the flour. Add the flour and oil to the yeast mixture and mix.

    Tips to make a fabulous Vegan Margherita Pizza

    • Dough: Knead the dough for a minute after it has risen to help the mixture incorporate well. Adjust the flour or water if needed.
    • Spread the dough out to make thin crusts. this dough makes bready crust if too thick.
    • The mozzarella cream can be made ahead.
    • Drizzle drops of olive oil all over on the pizza before baking.

    Can I make the this without cashews or nuts?

    You can use macadamia nuts instead of cashews in this mozzarella cream. Or use my nut-free alfredo sauce. Add 1-2 tsp flour in th sauce to thicken and then use.

    How to Store or Freeze this Vegan Margherita Pizza?

    Freeze: Freeze the pizza dough with the sauce and tomatoes or veggies if using, and without the cheese. Freeze on a tray, once fully frozen, store in an airtight ziplock with least amount of air around the pizza.

      I made the vegan mozzarella sauce and it was the first time I had made a cashew cream sauce I was satisfied with and enjoyed. I’ve tried many recipes in the past month to no avail. As it was cooking it smelled like cheese, I was wonderfully surprised. My husband really enjoyed the sauce as well It’s a keeper for certain. Next time I will be trying the dough and pizza sauce recipe as well. Thank you!

      Hi Richa, I tried the cashew mozzarella cheese and was blown away by the taste!! It was so much like the dairy cheese!! I loved it.. I only wished the consistency was a bit firmer as on being sliced the cheese tends to stick to the pizza cutter… that’s just a small glitch,nevertheless thank you for this super easy and tasty recipe 😊.

        Yes this one is a softer more cream like version. For sliceable version see the one in my everyday kitchen book. It uses potato starch and tapioca starch along with these ingredients to make a more set cheeese

      Thank you for this! The pizza sauce was great! I struggled with the dough, but I think that’s just because I don’t have much experience with yeast. As for the cashew “cheese” though, I found that it wasn’t very cheesy. Other recipes I’ve seen use a LOT more nutritional yeast to give it that flavor. Also, mine turned out much more liquidy than yours – not as blob-able.

        Nutriotnal yeast is a cheesy profile but is not mozz like so I keep the flavor to be closer to mozarella. Adjust to preference. Add a tbsp of tapioca starch for extra thickening

      Just came back to say this was AMAZING!! Satisfied my pizza cravings and the cashew mozzarella was so creamy! It was a perfect meal, filling, delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by mum as well who is not vegan :D. We had some of the cashew sauce left so have refrigerated it for tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

      I didn’t have basil leaves so I used spinach leaves instead and it turned out just as good!

      And, substituted 3 regular sized salad tomatoes in place of the tomato paste. Roughly chopped, blended, and heated them on the stove until they thickened into a sauce like consistency, then used it as per the instructions for the pizza sauce.

      Will definitely be using this as a go-to pizza recipe!

      I made the cashew mozzarella for pizza tonight, so glad I came across this recipe! I thought it was more like a lovely soft ricotta. I ended up putting double the corn starch in but besides that followed the recipe exactly. I’ll make this for pizza again and I’m going to try lasagna and rolled eggplant with it too. Thank you!!

      recipe was great! we didn’t have miso for the cheese but we added nutritional yeast instead and it was very tasty!

      WOW. After trying so many pizza crust disasters, I must say we were so so so happy to have found this. I do believe the semolina is crucial here and adds a lot of flavor. I subbed a tablespoon of whole wheat for a more flavor too. I think I may have over mixed the dough but it was still wonderful. Thank you so much for an awesome recipe! Cheers from Italy. 🙂

      I used the cheese recipe for a cauliflower crust from Costco. Loved the recipe. My kids like miso more than adding nutritional yeast so thanks for that tip. Great cheese. Will use it for other recipes.

      I’ve made this recipe several times now and it’s my favourite vegan margherita! The cashew cheese is really easy to make and SO good. I’ve used it for a few other dishes too.

      We love this pizza crust! Very thin and crisp. It didn’t rise at all for me, so I’m wondering if the yeast is needed next time. Thanks for your help. We love your recipes and your cookbooks!

        the yeast might be dead or it may have died if the water was too hot

      Very confusing instructions. Had to go back and forth between ingredients and instructions. Kept losing my mind.

        hmm, I wrote them in the order I cook the mozzarella, sauce etc. Can you explain what you found confusing? I can reorder them and add more deetails

      I made this for dinner last night and it was amazing! It was the perfect size for the three of us. The dough is SO much easier than what I usually do when making pizza dough, which takes all afternoon and now I’ll never go back to my old way of doing it, haha. Thanks for the recipes, Richa!

      Looks fabulous…. in the sauce for mushroom quesadillas you have the option to add tapioca flour. Is this recipe best without the tapioca flour? Thanks

        you can add it. it will make a slightly thicker sauce and it will gt a bit stringy after baking, more cheese like. i like the saucier version as the sauce is more saucy melted state on baking. Either works

      I haven’t tried this yet, but it looks sooo GOOD! Wondering if the oil in the cheese is absolutely needed… trying to eat without oil.

        omit it. you can omit the oil in the crust as well.

      Thank you! I’ve been wanting to make my own pizza for a while. I don’t usually have miso on hand – do you think it’s absolutely necessary?

        omit it. it adds cheesy umami flavor. You can use 1-2 tsp nutritional yeastinstead

      Get outta here! This looks amazingly decadent. I am just learning how to veganize things so this is really helpful. I do love pizza. I made your vegan instant pot aloo gobi and my husband and I enjoyed it very much.
