Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews 150 g
- 1 carrot
- ¾ cup water 175 mL
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast 15 g
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce like adobo sauce, harissa, or hot sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Soak: Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak overnight, either on the counter or in the fridge. (Alternatively, soak in very hot water for an hour). Strain before using.
- Carrot: Chop the carrot into chunks and set it in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a dash of water and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave for 3 to 4 minutes on high until the carrot is fork-tender.
- Blend: Add drained cashews, drained carrot, water, nutritional yeast, garlic, and spices to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach a smooth, sauce-like consistency.
Notes
- Store leftover queso in the fridge for up to 1 week. Keep sealed in a closed container to maintain freshness. To heat, place it in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 10-second intervals.
