Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a mixing bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for best results. This softens the cashews and makes them easier to blend.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, 3/4 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the cashew cream, and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a tangier taste, you can add a bit more lemon juice.
Step 6
Transfer the cashew cream to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld and the cream thicken slightly.
Step 7
Keep the sugar-free cashew cream in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before using as a topping, in recipes, or as a delightful dairy-free creamer.
