Macadamia Cashew Butter
Description
The Macadamia Cashew Butter recipe starts by roasting equal parts raw cashew and macadamia nuts in a 350°F oven until fragrant, which deepens their flavor and softens them for blending. Once cooled, the nuts are processed in a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, using a tamper to push the nuts into the blades. The result is a creamy nut butter that combines the rich, buttery flavor of macadamias with the mild sweetness of cashews.
The texture is smooth and spreadable, ideal for using as a spread on bread or incorporating into sauces and desserts. The natural oils released during blending contribute to the butter’s rich mouthfeel.
This nut butter should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it keeps well for two to three months. Using an airtight glass jar helps preserve its freshness and prevent it from absorbing other odors.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashew nuts raw
- 2 cups macadamia nuts raw
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Place the nuts on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Then, let cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the nuts to your Vitamix and blend on high for 3-minutes, using the tamper to constantly push the nut butter into the blades.
- Pour the macadamia cashew butter into a storage container and keep in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Store the nut butter in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 2-3 months to maintain freshness.
- Use glass jars with tight seals to best preserve flavor and prevent odor absorption.
- Roasting the nuts before blending enhances their flavor and helps create a smoother butter.
