White Cashew Cheese

This is one of my favorite cheese sauce recipes. It makes a great addition to bean dip, haystacks, lasagna, or any number of other dishes. The key is to blend it perfectly smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes, depending on your blender. After you have blended it, dip your finger into the sauce and rub your thumb and finger together. If it still feels grainy or gritty, you need to blend it longer. If it feels silky smooth, then you are done!

Blend smooth:

1 cup water

1/4 cup sesame seeds

3/4 cup cashews 

1 tsp. onion powder

2 Tbsp. yeast flakes

3 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Keep refrigerated.
