Vegan White Queso

 

 

 

 

If there is one concept I always loved back home at the mexican spot everyone went to, it was White Queso!! While it’s been years since I’ve had white queso, the flavor is just something I still long for. That being said, after making a vegan nacho cheese, which I’m still obsessed with, I had a feeling you could recreate a fab vegan white queso with the same approach, and I was absolutely right!

 

I know what you’re thinking, this can’t possibly work, but it absolutely does. As a white queso enthusiast with a husband who is very honest lol, I loved it through and through and so did he!

 

What sets this apart from traditional queso is truly only the texture! (not as gooey) The flavor is all there and actually even more bold to compensate for the lack of real cheese. It’s thick, takes on the same color, and you’ll be able to walk away without feeling completely weighed down as it’s cashew based.

    Where’s the queso recipe?

    1. Hi Sharon! There was a glitch in the system and for some reason it’s reflecting a different recipe. It’s being updated now.

    1. Hi Titania, is it red onion?! I kept going back and forth when I captured new images as to whether it was in my original recipe. I’ve added back. Let me know if you think that’s it!
