Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cashews
  • 1 cup hot water (for soaking )
  • ½ cup water (for blending )
  • pinch salt (optional)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. Soak cashews in hot water for 20 minutes.
  2. Drain all the water and rinse the cashews thoroughly.
  3. Add drained cashews to a blender jar along with fresh water.
  4. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
  5. Use immediately or refrigerate in a glass jar for 4 to 5 days.
  6. For longer storage, freeze for up to two months.

Notes

- For the silkiest texture, ensure your cashews are well-soaked and blend them for a full 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. A high-speed blender is ideal. - If the cream is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached. - Store leftover cashew cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
