- Blend until creamy and no lumps remain. I needed to add about a tablespoon of water to thin my out a little.
- Pour into a bowl and microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between. I microwaved mine for about a minute total. You want to stir in between though to avoid the cheese curdling. Season with salt as desired and enjoy!salt as needed
