It's best to make it a little too thick because you can always add more milk when mixing with the macaroni. Use your judgment to add more soy milk and blend until the mixture is creamy but not runny. Blend until smooth.Īt this point, you have a killer cheese spread that would go great on crackers (try it sometime!) but for this mac-and-cheese sauce, it probably needs more liquid in order to coat the pasta.
