Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4.6 ounces edamame beans (shelled and cooked) Fresh or frozen—ensure to use unsalted.
  • 4 ounces milk Use almond, soy, or oat milk for a vegan option; make sure it’s at room temperature.
  • 3 tablespoons tahini Look for high-quality brands; it can elevate the flavor significantly.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Opt for extra virgin for the best taste.
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled) Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor; you can roast for a sweeter profile.
Seasoning
  • 0.5 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best; it adds brightness!

  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper Black pepper can be used as a substitute.
For Topping
  • Crushed macadamias Add a lovely crunch.
  • Black sesame seeds Add an earthy flavor.
