What is cashew cream? Who even thought nuts could become a cream? Cashew cream is amazing! 2 ingredients, a bit of preparation and a cup of nuts becomes a dairy free cream with a multitude of uses. Dressings, desserts, fillings, cheese, the uses are endless. I have so much research to do with this, it is going to be hard taste testing everything! My first challenge is a dairy free chocolate mousse which I'm hoping to work on this weekend, but in the meantime - here is the cashew cream recipe.
Cashew Cream
2 cup of whole, raw cashew nuts
1 cup of cold water
Put the nuts in a bowl and cover the nuts with water. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge overnight.
Once soaked, drain and rinse the nuts. Place them in a blender with enough fresh cold water to cover them by 3 cms and then blend on high until very smooth.
That's it! Super easy and fast. This makes about 2 1/4 cups of thick cream. By using more water you can make a thinner cream which is better for pouring. Adding more water again makes cashew milk. It can be stored in the fridge for 2 days or frozen for up to 6 months (but needs another blend after).
