    My hubby is allergic to almonds can I use cashew milk and double the cashews. Or uses another nut? Pecans? Walnuts?

      Hi Bre,

      Yeah, cashew milk and double cashews is worth a try. Almonds thicken it a bit. So if it needs to be thicker (after running for 6 minutes or so) you may want to add a little more nutritional yeast and maybe a few more cashews (than would perfectly replace the amount of almonds). Let us know how it goes! 🙂

    I’m really looking forward to trying this recipe. It looks delicious! Do the cashews and almonds need to be soaked?

      Nope, no soaking necessary! Just throw them in raw! 🙂

    I added 1tsp of arrowroot powder to thicken this up nicely. Awesome on warm soft pretzels!

    This is so good. I tasted it before making the beer cheese soup recipe and I had a moment where I thought I should just skip the soup…

    I’m not supposed to have nightshade because of lupus. Do you think this would taste like a good cheese sauce without the bell pepper? Or is that the secret ingredient?

      Yeah, the red pepper is the secret. We’ve seen people use baked sweet potatoes in a similar recipe. Maybe try that? 🙂

    I tried the queso for the first time after reading about it for quite a while. It was very tasty but…. I re-read the recipe and realized I had absentmindedly used slivered almonds instead of whole almonds. Is that the reason my queso was so soupy?

      It may be the reason, yes. Raw almonds still include the skin which have a lot of fiber and thickens the recipe. If you find it too soupy again, blending for another minute or two usually does the trick 🙂
