Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/4-1/2 cup filtered or bottled water
- A Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a medium-small bowl. Add water to fully cover the cashews
- Soak for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight in the fridge
- Alternatively, soak the cashew in boiling water for 30 minutes on the countertop
- Once the cashews are ready, drain and rinse them (don't worry if the soaking water looks a little grayish)
- Place the soaked cashews in a high speed blender, regular blender or food processor with 1/4 cup of water. Process until smooth, scrapping the side. Add more water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency
Notes
- Make sure you use raw cashews, not roasted cashews
- Ideally use filtered or bottled water to soak the cashews
- If your are not using a high speed blender, be patient, you may have to process the cashews a little longer until you get a cream
- Using a regular blender or food processor will yield a less creamy cashew cream
- The longer you soak the cashews the creamier the cream will be.
- Add spices, sweeteners, herbs, or hot peppers to your liking to create different dips, spreads or sweet creams.
