Instructions

1

Soak and drain cashews

Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them well. Soaking overnight softens them fully so they blend into a perfectly smooth and creamy base for this vegan dip.

2

Blend the cream base

Add the soaked cashews, white beans, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, and plant-based milk to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

3

Mix in the hot sauce

Transfer the blended cream mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Stir in the hot sauce until fully combined and evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Bake and serve

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dip is bubbling around the edges. Serve hot with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or toasted bread.

Substitutions

Common mistakes
