Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk
1 cup vegetable broth
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup vegan cream cheese
1/4 cup tapioca flour
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 to 2 garlic cloves
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp agave syrup, optional
2 to 3 fresh jalapenos, seeded and diced
Chives for garnish
Tortilla chips for serving

For the topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Add the almond milk, veggie broth, lemon juice, white beans, vegan cream cheese, tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt, and agave syrup to a blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the jalapenos and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir often to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, oil, and nutritional yeast.
Sprinkle the Panko mixture evenly over the dish.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with chives and more peppers if desired. Serve with chips. Enjoy!

Notes

Broil the dish for about 3 minutes for an extra golden and crunchy Panko topping.
You can make your own dairy-free cream cheese with soaked raw cashews! Just blend the soaked cashews with cashew yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt, and lemon juice.
Besides nachos and tortilla chips, baguette slices, crackers, pretzels, and carrot sticks will also be perfect with this vegan jalapeno popper dip. You can also use it as a stuffing for bell peppers or as a spread to upgrade your vegan grilled cheese and "chicken" sandwiches!
