We did not write this crazy good recipe for a perfect cheesy sauce, but we thought it would be a shame to not share it with the world. There’s lots of ways to use this sauce, and we love them all!
1/2 cup raw cashews
2 cups water
4 oz jar pimentos, drained
1 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin, heaping
In a blender, blend cashews to a fine power. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and whisk constantly over medium heat until thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve hot.
Variations:
- For a spicy nacho style cheese, add 1/2 to 1 jalapeno to the blender mixture
Serving Suggestions:
- Use in tacos, taco salads, or on top of our Party Time Dip
- Spoon over steamed vegetables
- Pour over your favorite pasta in addition to a nice tomato sauce for a cheesy spaghetti dinner
- Fondue time! Dip bread or veggies in the cheesy sauce for a fun fondue night
