Absolutely Amazing No Queso Sauce

By Tiffany Hobson

Serves: Makes 2 cups

Prep Time: 3 min

Cook Time: 5 min

Ingredients

1/4 Cup Raw cashews
1 Cup Roasted butternut squash
3/4 Cup Water
8 Ounces Pimientos
3 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 Tsp Salt

Directions

1 Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until completely smooth. If you own a Vitamix, this process will take 3 minutes; if you own a regular blender, the process will take about 5 to 6 minutes.
2 Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook at medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Note: This cheese sauce is great on just about anything! Pour it over a baked potato, have it on top of your favorite chili, or over some baked tortilla chips. Instead of using 8 ounces of pimientos, try using 4 ounces and add in some chopped jalapenos or habaneros if you like it hot and spicy.

    If your daughter is allergic to cashews, what can be used in this recipe? I’m trying to change our household to become more vegan and it’s really hard when she is known as the cheese queen and is allergic to nuts.

      You can experiment with different bases...try white beans, tofu, cauliflower and sweet potato or a combination of these. It's really about the seasonings...garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and salt.
