Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.33 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens them and ensures the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.
Step 3
Add the soaked cashews, lemon juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take 3-5 minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the mixed berries to the blender and pulse 3-5 times until the berries are partially incorporated. This will give your cream cheese a marbled or lightly whipped berry appearance with small berry pieces remaining visible.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more maple syrup.
Step 6
Transfer the whipped berry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly.
Step 7
Serve chilled with fresh fruit, Paleo crackers, or as a spread for your favorite Paleo-friendly bread.
