Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw cashews in a bowl of hot water for about 1 hour to soften them. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth texture.
Step 2
Once the cashews have soaked and softened, drain them and rinse under cold running water.
Step 3
Add the soaked and rinsed cashews to a high-speed blender along with 0.5 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this might take 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well-incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the cashew cream and adjust seasoning as desired. If a thinner consistency is preferred, blend in a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Once finished, transfer the keto cashew cream to a lidded container and refrigerate. It will thicken slightly as it chills and can be stored for up to 5 days.
Step 7
Use this keto cashew cream as a delicious topping for savory dishes, as a dip, or as a creamy element in keto-friendly recipes.
