Cashew Queso (vegan cheese dip or sauce)
Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 4
This delicious, cheesy vegan dip would have to be one of the quickest and easiest to make low GI snacks. It’s delicious served with a rainbow of vegetable crudites or corn tortillas. Or make it as a side to go with any Mexican inspired meal.
- 140 g raw cashew nuts - (1 cup/s)
- ¾ cup/s boiling water
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 clove/s garlic
- 1 chipotle in adobe sauce
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp ground cumin
Place all ingredients together in a high speed blender or processor. Process until smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute. If you're using a Thermomix, 2 minutes, speed 8 (scraping sides).
If you find it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s not quite thick enough, add more cashew nuts.
Place in a serving dish and chill until ready to enjoy.
Tip
It's got just a hint of heat, but if you prefer a spice-free Queso, replace the chipotle chilli with a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Love this simple recipe? Let me know in the comments below...
