Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, so be patient and scrape down the sides as needed.
Once the mixture is smooth, transfer the dairy-free mascarpone cream to a serving dish or airtight container.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Serve as a spread for desserts, a dip for fruits, or use in recipes as you would traditional mascarpone.
