For the best texture, ensure your cashews are raw and unsalted. Adjust the amount of ancho chile powder to control the spiciness of the queso. Freshly made salsa adds a burst of flavor; consider experimenting with different varieties. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may need to soak the cashews for a longer period (up to 30 minutes) to ensure a smooth blend.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Hydrate the Cashews: In a bowl, submerge the raw cashews in 1 1/4 cups of hot water. Allow them to soak for 5 minutes to soften. (Time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Blend to Perfection: Drain the soaked cashews and transfer them to a high-powered blender. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cup of hot water, nutritional yeast, fresh salsa, chopped garlic, ancho chile powder, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, and kosher salt.
03
StepAchieve Creamy Consistency: Begin blending at a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for approximately 2 minutes, until the mixture is exceptionally smooth and creamy. For a thinner, more pourable queso, add additional hot water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (Time: 2 minutes)
