Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.25 cup Coconut cream
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews and unsweetened coconut flakes in a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toast them for about 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Transfer the toasted cashews and coconut flakes to a high-speed blender or a food processor. Pulse them a few times until they break down into small crumbs.

Step 3

Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender or food processor. Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes a smooth and creamy paste.

Step 4

If the paste is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the coconut cashew paste to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it cool completely before sealing and storing.

Step 6

Serve the paste spread on fresh bread, toasted baguette slices, or use as a dip for fruit or crackers. Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within one week.
