Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.33 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens them and ensures the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.
Add the soaked cashews, lemon juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take 3-5 minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Add the mixed berries to the blender and pulse 3-5 times until the berries are partially incorporated. This will give your cream cheese a marbled or lightly whipped berry appearance with small berry pieces remaining visible.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more maple syrup.
Transfer the whipped berry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly.
Serve chilled with fresh fruit, Paleo crackers, or as a spread for your favorite Paleo-friendly bread.
