Ingredients

1/2 cup cashews soaked in boiled water for 15 mins and drained
1 cup unsweetened plant milk
4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp tapioca flour
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

First, get the ingredients together.
Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth.
Add blended sauce to a saucepan set over medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken a little once removed from heat.
Use right away over nachos, baked potatoes, or any other way you fancy. Or store in an airtight container and place in the fridge.

Notes

The sauce will continue to thicken when placed in the fridge. Add a little plant milk and whisk again just before using to reach the desired consistency
