Instructions

  • Place the cashews in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water until completely covered. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to soften. The longer they soak, the easier they'll blend.
  • Drain and rinse the cashews before adding to the base of your blender along with the fresh water and a tiny pinch of salt.
  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Depending on the power of your blender, you may need to scrape down the sides or use the tamper (if your blender has one) to get it completely smooth.
  • Makes 1½ cups of cashew cream.

Notes

If your blender isn't very powerful, you'll need to soak them for about 2 hours.
