Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashew nuts 140 grams
  • 10 to 12 tablespoons coconut milk light
  • salt pinch

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cashews on the baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Once the cashews are cooled, place them in a medium bowl and cover them with water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours.
  3. Once the cashews have sat for 8 hours, drain the water and add them into a high-powered blender. Add the coconut milk and a pinch of salt and blend until they form a smooth, creamy sauce. Depending on the strength of your blender, this could take some time, and you'll need to stop to scrape down the sides often.
  4. Transfer to a bowl or container, then cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
