Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
  • 2 cups unsweetened plant milk more as needed
  • 1/2 an onion sliced thick
  • 1/2 jalapeño sliced
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp white wine
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 8 oz. vegan cheddar shreds
  • 8 oz. vegan American cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Soak the cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then strain and blend in a high speed blender with the plant milk.
  • Get a pan over medium heat and add a 2 tablespoons of oil. Add in the onions and jalapeño slices, black peppercorns and salt and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Then add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Next add in the white wine and white wine vinegar and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add in the cashew cream, stir to combine, then kill the heat and cover to steep for 30 minutes.
  • Now strain the cashew cream from the veggies (you can actually just eat the onions and peppers, so don't discard them!) Add the strained cashew cream back to a pan, and then add in the vegan cheeses. Whisk over medium heat until cheese melts, however, if the mixture is feeling too thick, add in about 1/4 cup of more plant milk at a time until it thins out to the desired consistency. Once cheese has melted, pour over some crinkle cut fries or anything you want!
