Blender Queso Blanco Recipe for the Win!

I use my blender to make this creamy vegan queso dip recipe!  I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp.  I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces like this or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis!

I was having some major queso cravings and came up with this tasty version which is packed with some great flavor and spice. The jalapeño, lime, and cilantro really jazz up the plain cashews and turn them into something magical.

Make This Vegan Queso with Tahini

This is great as a dip with plain tortilla chips or veggie sticks. And if you have any leftovers it can also be used as a sauce for your next Taco Tuesday or fajita night (our favorite is Roasted Sheet Pan Veggie Fajitas which we have all the time around here).  This dip is creamy, plant based, vegan and dairy free… So dip away!

How Do I Make Vegan Queso with Tahini?

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and boil the raw cashews for about 15 minutes until they begin to soften.
  2. Drain and add cashews to blender along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the cashews have completely broken down and the queso has become thick and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary: adding more jalapeños, salsa, lime juice if needed.
  4. Serve as a dip for tortilla chips, on tacos or burritos, or use as a spicy veggie dip!
