Ingredients
- 200 grams pine nuts
- 240 ml filtered water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the pine nuts in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for better blending and creaminess.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked pine nuts thoroughly, discarding the soaking water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked pine nuts, filtered water, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
Step 4
If you'd like a cheesy flavor, add the optional nutritional yeast at this stage.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes depending on your equipment.
Step 6
Taste the pine nut cream and adjust for seasoning, adding a pinch more salt or a splash more lemon juice if desired.
Step 7
Pour the finished cream into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use as a topping, sauce, or even a base for other recipes.
