Ingredients

Sauce

Cashew sour cream

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. To make the pizza sauce, place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, herbs, stock powder, and water into a blender and blend to a smooth tomato sauce. Pour the mixture into a frying pan, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced to a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  3. To make the cashew sour cream, place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend to a smooth cream. Add more water if necessary, it needs to be the same consistency as non-vegan sour cream. Once smooth, set aside.

Spoon over dollops of cashew sour cream and then place into the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the base is super crisp. Remove when the base is crispy, top with basil leaves, and serve.
