We've been keeping this artichoke dip to ourselves...

Last Updated February 6, 2018

So here’s the deal. We’ve been making this recipe for over a year now.

We weren’t intentionally keeping it from you. But here at Life is NOYOKE we like to make original recipes (like these).

And this one? This one isn’t ours.

But… we have made some pretty awesome upgrades. For a homemade dip it’s pretty dang easy and the payoff is worth the effort.

Go make this hot, “cheesy”, gooey, bubbly dip for your family. You’ll start getting a weekly request.

That artichoke dip though!

It starts pretty simply. Some cashews in our Vitamix.

But then things escalate quickly. And I get really REALLY excited for this dip.

Although we have lots of dips and spreads in our Vitamix recipe index, this one is a favorite.

When I pop it into the oven I almost always perform an “ERR-MER-GERD” dance (see below).

I originally wanted to make a dip to impress Lenny’s family. But most of my repertoire included dairy and my new boyfriend was dairy-free.

When I don’t know what to make, I consult Pinterest (you can follow us here).

I found this delicious recipe for spinach artichoke dip on itdoesnttastelikechicken.com and gave it a try. It turned out so well!

But not perfectly.

So I made it again.

Closer.

It took us 5+ times, but we think we have the right method/ingredients now to make the perfect dip.

Here’s what it looks like when it’s done. Yum!

The trick here is to make some melty vegan cheese first.

We tried to experiment and make our own version.

But pretty much everyone that makes vegan melty cheese makes it this exact way. It’s chemistry after-all.

(The original source is vedgedout.com.)

Once you’ve made the cheese, you add the veggies, bake, and serve.

I’m a little calmer now that it’s out of the oven (but still very excited to get my dip on).

This vegan spinach artichoke dip is super tasty and an excellent replacement for cheese. Look at that gooey-ness!
