Cashew Cream
Description
This homemade cashew cream is a versatile, dairy-free staple that mimics the texture of heavy cream without the guilt. By blending soaked cashews with water, maple syrup, and vanilla, you create a luxuriously smooth base ideal for pie fillings, whipped toppings, or creamy sauces. The natural sweetness of the maple syrup pairs beautifully with the nutty richness of the cashews, resulting in a light yet indulgent flavor profile. It is an essential ingredient for vegan bakers and health-conscious cooks alike. Simple to prepare with just a few pantry items, this cream adds a professional touch to your desserts while keeping things wholesome and delicious.Ingredients
Directions
-
Place the raw cashews into a high-speed blender or food processor.

Add 1/4 cup of water, the maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender.
-
Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
If the cream is too thick, add additional water one tablespoon at a time and blend until your desired consistency is reached.

Taste and add more maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is preferred.
-
Use immediately in your recipe or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
