Instructions

Place cashew nuts in a bowl or measuring cup with at least 500 milliliters of cold water and soak for at least eight hours or overnight.

Drain the water, rinse the cashews thoroughly in a sieve, and add them to the blender along with the soy skyr and water, blending until as creamy as possible.

Add the remaining ingredients to the sauce, season generously with salt, and continue blending until the sauce has a creamy, lump-free consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt again before serving.

Fill the cashew sauce into a screw-top jar container, seal airtight and store in the refrigerator, consume within one to two weeks.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Speed Up Soaking with Hot Water 💨
Use hot (not boiling) water to soak cashews for 2-3 hours instead of 8 hours overnight, significantly reducing prep time while maintaining creaminess.
Blend in Stages for Silky Texture 🌀
Start blending with just half the water, then gradually add the remaining liquid until you reach the perfect pourable consistency—this prevents over-thinning and ensures maximum creaminess.
Toast Spices Before Blending 🔥
Lightly toast your Mexican spice mix in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the blender to deepen and unlock complex flavors in the sauce.
Balance Heat with Soy Yogurt Ratio 🥄
Use soy yogurt as your primary liquid base rather than water to add tanginess that complements jalapeños and chipotle while enhancing the creamy texture naturally.
Reserve Fresh Toppings for Service ✨
Store the sauce plain and stir in fresh pickled jalapeños just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture instead of softening them during storage.
