Are you dairy free or vegan and missing your strawberries and cream this summer? Well you don’t have to miss out! Check out my recipe for cashew nut cream.
Cashew Nut Cream
Raw, vegan, dairy free alternative to cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashew nuts plain organic
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup can also use honey or 2 dates to sweeten
- 1-2 tsp vanilla essence can also use a vanilla pod whole
Instructions
- Soak the cashew nuts in filtered water for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for around 8 hours
- Drain and rinse the cashews and blend them - you can add clean filtered water a tablespoon at a time to get a thinner cream or blend without to get a thick cream
- Blend in 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla essence (or your vanilla pod) and 1 tbsp of maple syrup, honey or 2 soaked and pitted dates to sweeten
- Store in fridge in a glass jar for up to a week (if it lasts that long!)
