Cashew Cream with Tahitian Vanilla
What's great about it
I make my lush cashew cream on a weekly basis and love to spoon it over seasonal fruits, add to smoothies or fold through my bircher muesli made from apple, blueberry and a hint of cinnamon. For me, it's comfort food loaded with health benefits. A touch of vanilla takes the cream to the next level of yumminess!
Ingredients
Makes 1 jar
1 cup raw cashew nuts
3/4 cup water + extra for soaking
1/2 teaspoon Tahitian vanilla extract or any other vanilla paste or powder you have
Pinch sea salt
Method
- Place cashews into a bowl and cover completely with extra water.
- Soak for 2 - 3 hours or overnight.
- Drain the water.
- Place cashew nuts into a good high performance blender like a Vitamix with 3/4 cup water, vanilla and a pinch of sea salt.
- Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. If you like a thinner cream, you can add a touch more water.
- Pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge until needed.
- Keeps for 5 days in the fridge.
