Description
This vegan nacho cheese takes just 5 minutes to prepare! It’s a dairy-free “cheese” sauce made by blending together raw cashews, nutritional yeast, starch, and a blend of seasonings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour or tapioca starch
- 1 (4oz) jar pimentos, well drained
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- Chipotle powder, to taste
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) on high until thick.
- Pour cheese mixture into a sauce pan and warm over medium heat until thickened to your liking.
Notes
If you do not have a high powered blender like a Vitamix: Consider soaking your cashews overnight. Drain and dry off the water before combining it with the other ingredients and blending in a regular blender.
To store: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 4-5 days. Reheat on the stovetop until warm.
