Ingredients
Instructions
1️⃣ Soak the cashews
Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with cool water. Soak overnight in the refrigerator for the creamiest texture. If you’re short on time and using a high-powered blender, soak in hot water for at least 2 hours
2️⃣ Drain and rinse
Drain the cashews and rinse well under cool water
3️⃣ Blend until smooth
Add the soaked cashews and 1 cup (240 ml) fresh water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 1 minute, until completely smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Adjust the consistency
For a thinner cream (closer to half-and-half), blend in more water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
4️⃣ Flavor (optional)
Enjoy plain or add flavors for sweet or savory cashew cream.
