Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews under cold water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, lemon juice, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, salt, and water.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the cream and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the vegan mascarpone cream to a bowl and cover it. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow it to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
