Vegan portobello mushroom pizzas
To make these portobello mushroom pizzas vegan, I recommend sprinkling the mushrooms with 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (about 1 teaspoon on each mushroom) to get the full hit of cheesy flavours. Firstly, for the vegan cheese, I recommend using your favourite non-dairy cheeses as toppings. This could be vegan mozzarella cheese, vegan cashew cheese and most importantly, vegan gorgonzola cheese.
Secondly, for the vegan garlic cream cheese, I recommend you use your personal favourite. Personally, I like to use vegan garlic cashew cream cheese, but you can use any non-dairy cream cheese you prefer.
