    Homemade Vegan Queso Dip

    Homemade Vegan Queso Dip.  If you eat a primarily vegan diet, you don't have cheese in your choice of foods.  For some people, cheese is a big loss, and they seek out cheese alternatives to substitute in certain dishes.  Many of those commercial cheese alternatives are actually very good, but they are also expensive.  There are many recipes for vegan cheese available as well, and I like to try them because there is nothing better than homemade food, in my opinion.  Let me introduce you to Homemade Vegan Queso Dip!

    Queso is cheese, and it is combined with a variety of spices and peppers to make a dip or sauce.  Here, we have created a vegan queso "cheese" with cashews and spices, and I couldn't believe how amazingly similar it tastes to actual cheese made from cow milk.

    The options for serving this queso dip are endless; we served it with chips and carrots, but it is also great as cheese on pizza, tacos, burritos or other bowls.  Here are the ingredients that you will need to make this queso:

    Ingredients For Homemade Vegan Queso Dip

    Raw cashews, soaked
    Sea salt
    Smoked paprika
    Cornstarch
    Granulated garlic
    Tapioca flour
    Coconut oil
    Maple syrup
    Nutritional yeast
    Red pepper flakes
    Lemon juice

    Steps For Making Homemade Vegan Queso Dip

    There are basically 2 steps for making this dip.

    1.  Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender.

    2.  Pour mixture into pot and cook on medium high until dip thickens.  Stir constantly to make sure that it doesn't stick.  That's it...it is ready to dip!

    Notes

    This dip is amazing to serve with chips, vegetables or to add to tacos, burritos or bowls.  I am actually also using it tonight on pizza!
    This dip was inspired by thebuddhistchef.com and his delicious mozzarella cheese.
