My vegan queso kept breaking until I mastered this blending sequence

I was determined to make a silky nacho cheese for game day, but batch after batch turned gritty and separated. Through trial and error, I discovered you MUST soak the cashews in BOILING water for a full hour, then blend them alone before adding any liquids or acids. This creates a stable base that won't curdle when heated. Trust me, skipping this prep step will lead to a disappointing, grainy mess. Your dips and sauces deserve better!

Oh, that's a solid tip! My neighbor struggled with his vegan cheese sauce until he learned to blend the cashews first. It made all the difference in his recipes.

BLENDING them first sounds key, but for HOW long?
