Creamy Vegan Hot Broccoli Dip
This creamy vegan hot broccoli dip combines steamed broccoli florets, cashew nuts and vegan cream cheese into a silky party dip. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the cashews finely, steams the broccoli to tender perfection and heats everything into a velvety, dairy-free consistency. Ideal as a warm starter or snack with crudites and crusty bread.
About this recipe
Creamy Vegan Hot Broccoli Dip Thermomix TM7 style is the warm, plant-based appetiser your party table has been missing. If you search for vegan dip recipes or quick snacks for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this one delivers: broccoli florets turn tender in the Varoma while cashews are ground into a fine, cream-like base. Combined with vegan cream cheese, dairy-free milk and nutritional yeast flakes, the TM7 blends everything into a velvety, cheesy-tasting dip without a single dairy product. A touch of lemon juice keeps the broccoli colour bright and lifts the flavour, while garlic and onion powder add savoury depth. It is the ideal sharing starter for game nights, festive buffets or a cosy Friday evening, and it reheats beautifully for meal prep. Serve it warm with crudites, tortilla chips or toasted bread and watch it disappear.
Preparation tips
- Cut the broccoli florets into even, bite-sized pieces so they steam at the same rate and blend into a uniformly silky dip without fibrous bits of stalk.
- Soak the cashew nuts in warm water beforehand if you have time; this makes them grind into an extra-creamy base that blends seamlessly with the vegan cream cheese.
- Serve the dip warm in a preheated bowl and keep it covered with foil; it thickens as it cools, so stir in a splash of dairy-free milk to restore the velvety texture.
Recipe variations
- Cheesy-spinach variation: replace half of the broccoli with fresh spinach leaves and add an extra tablespoon of nutritional yeast flakes for a deeper, cheesier flavour that stays completely vegan.
- Spicy fiesta variation: add a chopped red chilli and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the broccoli mix, then top with chopped spring onion and a few extra toasted cashews for crunch.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Grinding the cashew nuts in the Thermomix creates a flour-fine base so the dip turns out silky without any grainy bits.
- Thanks to the Varoma, the TM7 gently steams the broccoli florets until tender while preserving their vibrant green colour.
- Heating in the mixing bowl keeps the vegan cream cheese and cornflour mixture moving so the dip thickens without sticking or burning.
- Weighing the nutritional yeast and cornflour directly in the bowl is precise, so the consistency of the dip is consistent every single time.
- Mixing all the ingredients with the TM7 blade blends lemon juice and spices evenly into a uniform, lump-free dip in seconds.
