Vegan Queso image

A cashew-based queso dip that has tons of flavor and would fool even the pickiest of queso aficionados! This recipe is best made in a high powered blender (I have a Vitamix®). I cannot say what it would be like in something different! Enjoy with tortilla chips or homemade salsa.

Time 15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup raw cashews
2 ½ cups hot water, divided
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons fresh salsa
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place cashews in a bowl and cover with 1/2 of the hot water. Soak for 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine drained cashews, remaining 1 1/4 cup hot water, nutritional yeast, salsa, garlic, ancho chile powder, Dijon mustard, cumin, and salt in a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix®). Start blending at lowest speed and slowly increase the speed. Blend for 2 minutes. Add more hot water if you want the queso to have a pourable consistency.
