These warm and comforting Swedish meatballs are completely delicious while being completely vegan! We used Impossible Burger ground "beef," now available in many grocery stores, to make the meatballs . No one will be able to tell that the dish doesn't use real meat, since Impossible resembles and tastes like beef. The gravy is made with coconut milk, making it rich and creamy without any dairy. Serve this recipe to any vegan or carnivore and they are sure to be pleased.
Serve the meatballs on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or with cauliflower rice if you’re looking for less carbs. A little lingonberry jam on the side is also a must.
