Easy, cheesy, totally dairy-free cashew queso! This luscious vegan cheese is loaded with flavor and easy to make, with just 7 ingredients.
This site is no stranger to vegan queso. I’ve made few versions before from ingredients like sweet potatoes and cauliflower. And while I love both of those recipes, I don’t always have the time or all of the ingredients to make them. I usually end up making a super simple cashew-based vegan queso, and I figured it was about time I shared the recipe. What I love about this version is that I always have all of the ingredients on hand — they’re all pantry staples! What You’ll Need
How to Make Vegan QuesoThis stuff whips up in minutes, but you do need to do one prep step: ideally, soak your cashews in water for 4 to 8 hours. I know, that requires a bit more planning for an easy recipe. If you forget to soak your cashews, just boil them in water for 15 minutes. Once your cashews are soaked or boiled, give them a rinse and stick them into a blending vessel. Something small is preferable, in order to ensure that all of the ingredients get blended. I’m using a Ninja mini food processor. Don’t have a small blending device? Try doubling the batch size! You can freeze your leftover queso for later. Add the nutritional yeast, hot sauce, garlic and onion powders, and salt, along with just 1/4 cup of water. Blend everything until smooth, then taste-test the cheese, make adjustments, and thin it with some more water.
