    I have always loved mushrooms, so these vegan stuffed mushrooms are right up my street.

    To tell you the truth I could eat this whole tray of stuffed mushrooms all to myself! They are that good.

    They make a delicious appetizer or light meal. We made these with large mushrooms so that each one would be a delicious and filling appetizer.

    But if you want to stuff small mushrooms for a party appetizer, this recipe will easily adapt to that as well.

    And if you love mushrooms like we do then also check out our baked portobello mushrooms (they are divine!), our vegan mushroom sauce and our vegan mushroom pâté.

    What You Need To Make It:

    Ingredient Notes

    • Large mushrooms – you can use any large mushrooms, like portobello mushrooms, you just want to make sure that they’re shaped so that they will be able to hold the filling. If you want to use this recipe as finger food, then you can use smaller mushrooms, you will just need to use more of them.
    • Raw cashews – should be soaked first in hot water for one hour.
    • Coconut cream – is blended with cashews and other ingredients to make the vegan cream cheese filling. It should be canned, unsweetened coconut cream. If you can’t get hold of it, you can also use canned, full fat, unsweetened coconut milk.
    • Distilled white vinegar – also forms part of the homemade vegan cream cheese. It really works so well to create that tangy cheesy flavor. Apple cider vinegar can be used in a pinch but it doesn’t work nearly so well for flavor.
    • Spring onions – are also known as green onions, salad onions or scallions.

    How To Make Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

    You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

    • To start, place your cashews in a bowl. Pour over boiling water from the kettle and leave them to soak for one hour. After an hour, drain and rinse them.

    Recipe FAQ

    What kind of mushrooms are best for stuffed mushrooms?

    Portobello or other large mushrooms work great because there is more space for the filling. This works best if you’re making this for a sit down appetizer. If you’re serving this as finger food then smaller mushrooms like cremini (baby bellas) work great.

    What goes with stuffed mushrooms?

    You can serve these as a stand alone appetizer, just topped with some ground black pepper and fresh chopped basil. However, this can also work as the main course served alongside vegan mashed potatoes or a salad like our vegan kale salad or roasted butternut squash salad.

    Can they be made ahead?

    You can make this recipe up to the point that you would bake it, and then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

    How to store them?

    Keep leftover mushrooms stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.

    Can you freeze them?

    You can freeze them BEFORE baking, but not after. So if you want to freeze them, make the recipe up to the point that you would bake them but instead of baking, freeze them for up to 3 months. Then you can simply bake them from frozen, just allow an extra few minutes of baking time.
