Let the cashews sit for 30-45 minutes in the warm water, then drain. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat.
However, I’ve found that you can easily speed up the process by adding the raw cashews to a pot with water and placing it over high heat. First, you’ll need to soak your cashews for at least 2 hours. It’s truly the key to the base and consistency! I’ve seen some vegan cheese sauce recipes made with vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower and/or carrots, but I personally love the texture and flavor that cashews add. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a nut-free substitute for the cashews in this dairy-free cheese sauce.
If you’re nervous about the spices or making this for kids, take out the seeds or leave out the jalapeno completely.
Jalapeño: you’ll put the entire pepper in (seeds and all) and it’s never been too spicy for me or anyone I know. 
CASHEW QUESO MAC
Dijon mustard: This gives the mac and cheese a little zesty and adds a slight tang.

Don’t forget plenty of salt & pepper, too! Feel free to use smoked paprika or cayenne pepper if you like a smoky, spicier flavor.
Spices: another thing I use to flavor this mac and cheese is plenty of spices including ground turmeric, paprika and onion powder. Garlic: because what is life without garlic?. I haven’t tried it out with vegetable broth so I’m not 100% sure how it would affect the flavor. Water or plain oat milk would likely also work, but I love how it gets super creamy with the addition of almond milk. Almond milk: make sure to use unsweetened almond milk in this recipe. You can buy nutritional yeast at most grocery stores including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. It has a nutty, cheesy flavor and contains an incredible amount of B vitamins. So, what is nutritional yeast? It’s a deactivated yeast made from sugarcane and beet molasses. She puts it on her buttered toast with a little garlic powder and salt and it tasted just like cheesy garlic bread. Nutritional yeast: have you ever had nutritional yeast before? My mom originally got me hooked during college. Just put them in a bowl and walk away for a few hours I’ve also added a way to speed up the process to only 30 minutes in the instructions of this recipe. Just remember you’ll have to soak the cashews for at least 45 minutes, so keep that in mind. CASHEW QUESO FULL
Raw cashews: yes, RAW cashews are the base of this recipe, and when soaked and blended with a little water or milk, the nuts form into a beautiful, super creamy nutritious sauce full of fiber, protein and healthy fats. Except that this version is dairy free, vegan and made completely from… CASHEWS! Here’s what you’ll need: I know it sounds crazy and weird that you could turn cashews into something that tastes cheesy but please just trust me when I say that this vegan cheese sauce tastes pretty close to creamy nacho cheese. Make it once and it lasts all week, or make it once and throw it in some really good easy stovetop vegan mac and cheese. It’s incredibly easy, oh so delicious, creamy and just so happens to be Abra’s favorite thing to make every single week to drizzle on top of quinoa, tacos and whatever else she’s cooking up. Hence why we now call this recipe the BEST vegan cashew cheese sauce you’ll ever eat. I wanted it to be full of umami flavors, taste like something close to nacho cheese, be completely smooth and creamy with a little hint of spice. I had to find out for myself, so I set out on a quest to make the BEST vegan cheese sauce out there. Was it really that good, and did it really taste like cheese?! I used to wonder what all the hype was surrounding cashew cheese sauce.
