Quick Blender Vegan Queso
10 minutes and a blender is all you need for this creamy and delicious Vegan Queso! You will never believe this recipe has zero cheese. It's made with a cashew base and is addictingly tasty.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2/3 cup water or vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce*
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Ensure that you soak the raw cashews in hot water before using. Pour enough hot water (about 2-3 cups) so that the cashews are completely covered with water.
- Drain the cashews and add to the blender. Also add the water, hot sauce, nutritional yeast, and garlic.
- Blend until completely smooth. This make take a few minutes, and you will most likely need to pause a few times and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender.
Notes
*I use Frank's Red Hot Original hot sauce
