Preparation: 15 mins
Servings: 12
Instructions
Step 1: Optional: soften the cashews
If not using a high-speed blender, soak the raw cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes to soften, then drain well.
Step 2: Load the blender
Add the cashews, unsweetened soy milk, the 4.5oz (127g) of diced green chiles, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes and the salt to the blender jar.
Step 3: Blend until ultra-smooth
Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until the queso is completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 4: Adjust and serve
If needed, blend in a splash more soy milk for a thinner texture. Taste and adjust the salt or heat, then serve warm with chips or over nachos.
