Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1⁄4 cups cashew nuts about 185 g, whole raw
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the cashews with water to cover.
  2. Cover and let soak at room temperature for 4 hours. Drain the nuts, rinse well, and drain again.
  3. Transfer them to a high-speed blender, add the water, lemon juice, salt, and vinegar, and blend on high speed for about 1 minute, until very smooth and creamy. There should be no visible bits of cashew.
  4. If needed, scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and blend again for 30 seconds.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Notes

  • Plan on 4 hours for soaking the cashews.
  • Tidbits: Use this dairy-free cream in place of heavy cream in creamy soups or casseroles. A high-speed blender is necessary to puree the cashews to a very smooth cream. If you don’t have one, substitute 1 cup unsweetened raw cashew butter. In this case, skip the soaking step and reduce the water to 1⁄3 cup.
  • Makes 1 1/2 cups
