Note
For best results, soak the cashews in hot water for 15-30 minutes before blending to ensure an ultra-smooth consistency, though this is optional if using a powerful blender.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The sauce may thicken as it chills; add a splash of water to thin it out if needed.
This sauce yields approximately 2 cups. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired thickness.
