    Can’t eat bell peppers, wonder how this will work without or what could I use instead? Thanks a mill.

    do you think it would work to bake it? like spread it over a casserole or enchiladas and bake it?
    Gonna pick up some cashews on my way home from work. Can’t wait to try it. Looks so yummy!

      We haven’t tried to bake it, but we certainly top things like enchiladas after they come out of the oven!

    Hi, I noticed that in most of the recipes the cashews are soaked beforehand to get the creamier texture. Would you recommend that for this recipe? Super excited to try this out for the game tomorrow!

      No soaking necessary. Just drop ’em in and blend. 🙂

    We just made this in our Vitamix. We are not Vegan but just trying to eat a little healthier. OMG! This is just the bomb! My kids are licking the bowl…

    Made this last night and learned something: If you use homemade almond milk (like almond milk made in a Vitamix), you don’t need to use as many raw almonds. If you do, it will turn out a bit too thick. Half as much is probably sufficient, assuming you’re using homemade almond milk.

      half as much almond milk, or half as much almonds? thanks!

    Two experiments validate the almonds’ exact measurement.

    1. Was out of cashews the other day. Tried to sub almonds (all almonds instead of half cashews) and it turned out way too thick. Almost like a nut butter spread.

    2. Was low on almonds today. Tried to add cashews to replace almond deficit and it turned out way too thin. Almost like a drink.

    Both cases, it still tasted nice, but completely wrong consistency.

    Moral of the story: follow the recipe exactly.

      I cant have almonds, or almond milk. Suggestions?

    Do you guys have a thing you always eat right after grocery shopping? Growing up, it was sandwiches.

    These days, it’s this. Cashew queso.

    Just made it last night.
