This sounds incredibly good! I bet it would be amazing over some enchiladas. Also, love the idea of adding the nutritional yeast for extra cheesy flavor!

Had to make this right away. Probably the easiest and tastiest vegan queso I’ve made to this date. I added 4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, about a teaspoon of garlic powder, and some red pepper flakes and chili powder (couldn’t find chipotle pepper in adobo at my grocery &amp; I like it spicy). This will won’t last long in my house haha thanks for the recipe!!

Life. Changing. This sauce is incredible!!!! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!

This queso is SO GOOD. I do eat dairy but have mild lactose intolerance. I can eat this without tummy troubles and it tastes amazing.

Just made this and it was delish.  I added nutritional yeast and salt to taste.  I thought a squeeze of lime would also be good.  I doubled it and used a 7 oz can of green chili's.  Nice recipe!

Just made the 12 serving batch of this. It’s absolutely delicious! I added extra chilli so I didn’t need to add chilli powder. It was super easy to make. I used raw cashews and I left them to sit in boiling water for an hour or two to soften them up. The nutritional yeast is amazing in this. Delicious!!

I love this Chipotle Cashew Queso, seems amazing . Can't wait to try this one . Thanks for sharing with us.

Will this work without the chipotle pepper/adobo, just as a nacho cheese Queso/dip? Can’t wait to try it!

This is not only so so good, but amazingly easy.  I might never make regular queso again because this is so much easier make and eat as leftovers, and uses ingredients that I often have on hand.

I just made this, and I had to stop, sit down and write about this wonderful vegan cheese. I made a cheese sauce before that was very good, but this chipotle cashew queso is totally by far the ultimate best! The spice level is awesome. I had to make myself STOP tasting it so I would have some left to put on my vegan carne asada tacos. I can’t wait for all of the flavors to my meal to come together and completely dazzle my taste buds! Thank you for such a wonderful recipe! 10 stars out of 5😊

Holy moly, this was so good I made it a second time in ONE DAY! Haha! I used the first batch for vegan enchiladas (cauli/walnut meat) and they were so good my s/o asked me to make more so that he could snack on it throughout the week.
