One of my favorite nuts is cashews, besides almonds of course. They are not only tasty but just perfect for sweet and not so sweet dips, pies, vegan cheeses, homemade cashew milk and smoothies. I always have them on hand at home. I soak a large batch and after 4 hours, rinse them and pop them in the freezer for future use. So you can see how easy it is to make this delicious vanilla cashew cream all the time.
What fruit will you be dipping in this vanilla cashew cream?
Vanilla Cashew Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashews; soaked for 4 hours
- 1/2 - 1 cup or more of filtered water
- 3 - 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high powered blender. Blend until creamy.
Notes
Any liquid sweetener such as honey, or coconut syrup. It may how result in a different taste. More water can be added, to make a less thick cashew cream. Soaking your nuts prior, helps make the nuts easy to blend and better for your digestive tract, but totally optional. Use the cashew cream as a dip or pour it over your favorite fruits and nuts.
