How to make the cheesiest vegan queso dip?

Well, a potato’s natural starch blended with cashews and soy milk will give you the gooiest, velvety cheese texture. The Nutritional yeast and typical queso seasoning mix-ins will give you a queso dip so rich and flavourful, you won’t miss the dairy. 

I like soy milk best for this recipe because it’s thick and has a high protein content which helps the texture of the dip. Soy milk also won’t make this recipe too sweet, but you could opt for an unsweetened plant-based milk. If you want a soy-free version of this recipe, or you prefer another type of milk, unsweetened oat, rice or cashew milk will work as well.
