You won't believe your tastebuds when you try this Cashew "Cheese" Sauce that is completely dairy free yet tastes so cheesy and decadent! You can use it as a Queso dip by adding chilis to it or on its own wherever you would use cheese in a recipe. Like soups, sauces, stews, eggs, potatoes and more! I made a broccoli cheddar soup and everyone at the table could not believe there was no cheese in it! You have to try it to believe it!
