I want to apologize to everyone who has made our cashew queso recipe through the years. Apparently, the directions stated blend in a food processor when we really use a high-speed blender. Blending it in a high-speed blender makes it creamy and VERY much like traditional queso (yet better!!!). Thank you to Emily Whaley- Jamberry Independent Consultant for helping us figure this out! T he recipe is adapted from one we got on the Happy Herbivore website. We made a few changes, so here is our version: Quick Cashew Queso: 1/2 cup raw cashews ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes* 1 t onion powder 1 t salt 1 1/3 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk 1 T t white or yellow miso paste** 1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper (you can roast your own or use jarred--not soaked in oil!) 1 t lemon juice 1 t cumin 1/8 t black pepper (optional) a dash of cayenne pepper (I added more to make it spicier) Combine all ingredients in a HIGH-SPEED BLENDER and process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, allowing the cheese to thicken. Serve with baked chips. Adapted from “Happy Herbivore” *Nutritional Yeast Flakes can be found at Sprouts in the vitamins section, at Whole Foods in the bulk bin area, or online. They are FABULOUS on air-popped, salted popcorn! ** Miso paste is found in the refrigerated section at Whole Foods or Sprouts usually near the plant-based meat alternatives. You can also go to an Asian store and purchase it there.
