Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk, canned and unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl, cover them with hot water, and let them soak for 15 minutes. This will soften them for blending.
Step 2
After the cashews have soaked, drain and rinse them under cold water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times.
Step 4
Add chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the blender. Blend again briefly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or seasonings if desired. Add more maple syrup for sweetness or more cinnamon for spice, depending on your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the pumpkin spread into a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the chia seeds to thicken the spread slightly, improving its texture.
Step 7
Before serving, give the spread a quick stir. Serve the pumpkin spread on toast, bagels, or as a dip with crackers. Enjoy your flavorful, vegan creamy pumpkin spread!
