Ingredients

  • 4 Ears Fresh Corn de-husked
  • 4 Tablespoons Vegan Butter
  • 1 Recipe Vegan Parmesan
  • 1 Tablespoon Chile Powder
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro Fresh, chopped.
  • 12 Bamboo Skewers

Vegan Crema

  • 1 Cup Raw Cashews soaked 2 hours or overnight
  • 3/4 Cup Almond Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Salt

Instructions

Vegan Crema

  • Soak the cashews in filtered water for two hours or overnight.
  • Drain the cashews and add to a blender, along with the remaining ingredients, and blend until smooth, about 10-20 seconds.
  • Transfer to a squeeze bottle for easy application!

Mexican Elotes

  • Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.  De-husk the corn while the grill heats up.
  • Grill corn for 3-4 minutes per side, or until kernels are slightly charred.
  • Remove from heat, and let stand for 2 minutes until easy to handle.  Cut each ear into three pieces, and spear with wooden bamboo skewer.
  • Mix the vegan parmesan with the Tablespoon chile powder, and mix well on a plate.  If you're making the vegan parm, omit the salt, onion and garlic powder.
  • Roll corn in the butter, then the spicy vegan parmesan.  Arrange on a platter, and using a squirt bottle, squirt with the vegan crema.  Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve!
