Silky, gently spicy cashew queso blended with green chiles and nutritional yeast—ready in minutes for dunking, drizzling, tacos, or nachos.
Preparation: 15 mins
Servings: 12
Instructions
Step 1: Optional: soften the cashews
If not using a high-speed blender, soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain well.
Step 2: Load the blender
Add the raw cashews, unsweetened non-dairy milk, diced green chiles (4.5oz/128g), nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to the blender jar.
Step 3: Blend until ultra-smooth
Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until the queso is completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 4: Adjust and serve
If needed, blend in a splash more non-dairy milk for a thinner texture. Taste and adjust salt or heat, then serve warm with chips or over nachos.
