Easy Vegan Hollandaise Sauce ~
Rich, creamy, and so very easy!!
The classic hollandaise sauce gets a vegan upgrade and the flavor is exactly what you remember from the traditional egg-based version!
Easy Vegan Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
Perfect for brunch or a breakfast-for-dinner night, this delicious sauce that can be whipped up in no time adds a decadent touch to all sorts of dishes.
And this vegan version of hollandaise, one of the mother sauces of classic French cuisine, is not just for special occasions. Trust me, you’ll want to drizzle this creamy sauce over roasted asparagus, spoon it over Vegan Tofu Benedict Florentine, and even use it as a sauce for breakfast enchiladas and tacos.
I like this easy recipe because it has all the eggy flavor of a traditional hollandaise sauce without the addition of things such as silken tofu, nutritional yeast or raw cashews – ingredients that are found in so many vegan hollandaise recipes. The main ingredient in this decadent sauce is mayonnaise. That’s right; you heard me and it totally works. This vegan sauce has a familiar yellow color and similar flavor profile to the dairy version that many of us know and love.

Maleena
I am going to try this hollandaise sauce x
How long does it keep in the fridge? Does it split like an egg based hollandaise?

Hi Maleena! I have always used this sauce right away so I can’t say for sure how well it holds up in the fridge.
Michelle
Were you successful making it ahead? I am hoping to make it and store it overnight and then heat it up the next morning. I would love to know if it worked
Vernita
Hi There. Do you have to use cayenne pepper sauce? Is there an alternative or can this be omitted altogether?
thiswifecooks
Hi Vernita ~ Yes, the flavor will be just slightly milder but you can absolutely leave out the cayenne pepper sauce.😊
