Ingredients

• 1 piece Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, dairy-free)
• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Fresh mushrooms (e.g., cremini or shiitake), thinly sliced
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Step 2

Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes or until softened. Drain and rinse well.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a floured pizza peel if using a stone.

Step 5

Spread the cashew cream sauce evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced mushrooms until soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cashew cream sauce.

Step 8

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh arugula. Drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with black pepper.

Step 10

Slice and serve immediately, enjoying your dairy-free truffle pizza!
