Cashew Cream
Cashew cream is a beautiful, easy-to-make replacement for heavy whipping cream. It adds all the creaminess to recipes and doesn't add a nutty flavor.
Ingredients
1 C raw cashews
3 C water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Boil 2 cups of water. Place cashews in a bowl, pour boiling water over cashews, cover, and allow to soak for 30 minutes.
Drain cashews and rinse under cold water. Add cashews, 1 C water, and 1Tbsp lemon juice to a high-powered blender (such as a Nutribullet or Vitamix) and blend three times, 30 seconds each time. At this point, you should have a smooth cashew cream. If it still appears grainy, blend 30 seconds at a time until smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate.
Keeps for about four days in the refrigerator.
