Step By Step Instructions
STEP 1. Start by adding water to your high-powered blender. Adding liquids first help to blend easier.
If you don’t have a high powered blender you can use something smaller like a NutriBullet. But be sure to soak your cashews in hot water for 30 minutes before making dip.
STEP 2. Add sweet potatoes to blender.
STEP 3. Add raw cashews to blender.
STEP 4. Add spices to blender.
Step 5. Blend until creamy, adding more water if needed to blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
STEP 6. Serve with tortilla chips or add to things like nachos or burritos.
Serving Suggestions
This vegan sweet potato queso is the perfect non-dairy dip. Great with tortilla chips, pretzel bites and jackfruit vegan nachos.
Storing Instructions
Store. Store the dip in the fridge tightly covered and sealed. It will thicken when cold. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat. Reheat over the stove, in the microwave or in a small crock pot, before serving again.

Let me start by saying that I’m pretty open minded when it comes to trying new dishes. The Vgn Way creatives come up with some original recipes, but I hate to admit I wasn't so sure about “sweet potatoes” and “queso” coexisting in the same space. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the finished product! The texture was creamy, neither the sweet potato nor the cashew flavors overpowered the overall flavor or texture of the dip, and the hallmark Tex-Mex flavor that I would expect from this comfort snack was present and did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the queso with tortillas and then I scraped my bowl at the end. For real. Do yourself a favor — Try It!
I’m thinking that I'll have this for an anytime snack, party nibble, or nacho night.
