Cooking Tips
Soaking Cashews:Soak cashews in water for a few hours or overnight. This softens them, making it easier to blend into a creamy consistency.Blending Smooth:Use a high-quality blender or food processor to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.Adjusting Consistency:Control the dip's thickness by adding water or a dairy-free milk alternative during blending until you achieve the desired consistency.Balancing Heat:Adjust the number of jalapenos to control the spiciness. Removing seeds and membranes can reduce heat while keeping the flavour.
