Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a small-medium sized ramekin.

Combine cashews, dairy-free milk, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.

In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until the onion is translucent and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic, chili flakes, pepper, and paprika and stir. Cook for another 1 minute.

Add the blender mixture into sauté pan. Stir frequently and make sure to scrape around the bottom and edges, to prevent sticking. Continue to stir until everything comes together.

Add the spinach and artichoke hearts to the sauté pan and stir everything together. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, until the spinach begins to wilt.

Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Transfer to the prepared ramekin. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top begins to brown.

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cashew Soaking is Non-Negotiable 🥜
Always soak raw cashews overnight in room temperature water to achieve a silky, creamy base that blends smoothly without grittiness or lumps.
Bloom Your Spices in Oil 🌶️
Toast the garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes in olive oil for 1-2 minutes before adding other ingredients to intensify their flavors and eliminate any raw taste.
Wilt Spinach Separately for Moisture Control 🥬
Sauté fresh spinach in a separate pan first, then squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels before folding in—this prevents a watery, diluted dip.
Tapioca Starch Activation 💫
Whisk tapioca starch with a small amount of cold dairy-free milk before adding to the warm mixture to prevent lumps and achieve the perfect creamy, dip-like consistency.
Finish with Fresh Lemon Right Before Serving 🍋
Add lemon juice in the final minute and taste for seasoning—the acidity brightens the dip and balances the richness of the cashew cream for restaurant-quality flavor.
