Hey, guys, today feelin pretty excited.
There's a good chance that this is your first look
at our now famous cashew Queso.
Our vegan cheese sauce.
Noyoke queso.
A lot has changed over the years.
Stream of consciousness videos as a bachelor.
Over-scripted, overproduced videos dialed up to eleven,
maybe twelve.
A brief foray into videos for toddlers.
But in six years, one thing has not changed,
and that is the recipe to our queso.
So here we go.
We'll start with one cup of almond milk,
unsweetened unflavored.
You could probably just use a cup of water
and an extra few almonds,
especially based on the video on almond milk
we made a few months ago.
We'll add half a cup of cashews.
Guys, if you're allergic to cashews, I'm sorry,
I don't have a way to make it without
it's cashew queso.
I wish we had a substitute.
Half a cup of almonds.
You don't need to soak either
the cashews or the almonds,
but if you want to, you sure can.
We'll add one whole red bell pepper.
Take the stem out for sure.
We usually take the seeds out,
but you can definitely throw them in for extra nutrients.
Nutrients!
A quarter cup of nutritional yeast,
One half teaspoons of salt,
half a teaspoon of garlic powder,
one teaspoon of onion powder.
We're using an onion-based powder.
This one's called 21 Seasoning Salut.
Really, any kind of all-flavor, all-spice will work here.
Not allspice!
Like a all-in-one seasoning
And then crushed red pepper to taste.
Imagine it's pizza. You're putting it on
however you like. We like ours spicy.
Today we're making it with our little guy.
So we'll do just two shakes.
We'll put the top on and blend on variable speed 10
for six minutes. If you have a soup setting,
you can press the button hit start and walk away.
If you don't have a Vitamix, blend until smooth,
throw it on the stove in a pot and heat it up.
And if you're not sure, the Vitamix doesn't have a heater in it,
it's just the friction from the blades
that's going to heat the queso. It feels warm.
When it's done, look out,
steam is going to come out because it is hot.
You can feel on the side it's going to get warm.
Enjoy this queso with chips, pretzels
or I guess with a spoon.
It's great on potatoes, tacos, really
what isn't good with some cheese on top?
Guys, I want to get sentimental again.
Going back to these previous queso tutorials
our now oldest baby was in the video for toddlers.
Before that it was just Shalva and I
in our newlywed kitchen.
It's really crazy to think going back six years.
I'm literally creating this recipe live.
I never would have imagined that
tens of thousands of people would make this
and share this. But also, I never would have imagined
that the original case of creation video
would be a sufficient bribe to get our toddler
to sit on the potty.
I like queso.
Life is crazy.
