Cashew cream is an indulgently rich cream used as a base in many dairy-free vegan substitutes. It's much richer and more flavorful than soy milk. Here's how to make a homemade vegan cashew cream with this Cashew Cream recipe courtesy of Gardein.
As long as you use raw cashews, this is also a raw food recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashews (whole raw)
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Put 2 cups whole, raw cashews (not pieces which are often dry) and rinse very well under cold water.
-
Put in a bowl and add cold water to cover them.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
-
Drain the cashews and rinse under cold water.
-
Place the cashews in a blender with enough fresh cold water to cover them by 1 inch.
-
Blend on high for several minutes until very smooth.
Tip
If you’re not using a professional high-speed blender such as a Vita-Mix, which creates an ultra-smooth cream, strain the cashew cream through a fine-mesh sieve.
-
Serve and enjoy!
