Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the raw, unsalted cashews in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Process the nuts briefly until they are coarsely chopped.
  3. With the motor running, gradually pour in approximately 1/4 cup of water.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Continue blending for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles whipped cream.
  6. Taste the cream and add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired.
  7. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
