Creamsicle Cashew Milk Recipe
Description
The Creamsicle Cashew Milk Recipe starts with cashews soaked for two hours and optionally roasted, which are then blended with filtered water, 100% orange juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Dates can be added to increase sweetness and enhance the creamsicle flavor. The mixture is blended on high until smooth and then strained through a nut-milk bag to remove any remaining solids, ensuring a silky consistency.
The finished milk has a bright, citrus scent and natural sweetness balanced by vanilla, creating a drinkable dairy alternative with a unique creamsicle-like taste. Chilling in the refrigerator for a few hours improves the flavor and texture before serving.
The notes mention roasting raw cashews before soaking if not pre-roasted, which can improve flavor. The number of dates can be adjusted or omitted for less sweetness, allowing customization based on preference. This milk can be enjoyed as a beverage or used in smoothies and cereal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew soaked in water for 2 hours, roasted
- 2 cups water filtered
- 2 cups orange juice 100%
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 4 dates optional, but recommended, i use deglet noor**
Instructions
- Drain the water from the cashews and place them in a high-powered blender. Add in all of the remaining ingredient and blend on the highest setting until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Strain the milk through a nut-milk bag and transfer to a container with a lid.
- Pour into a jar (I like big Mason jars), cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until totally chilled, and SLURP!
Notes
- If your cashews are raw, roast them at 350°F for 10-12 minutes before soaking to enhance flavor.
- Adding 4 dates increases sweetness and intensifies the creamsicle flavor; reduce or omit dates for a less sweet milk.
