Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups water (for soaking)
- 0.5 cup filtered water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of water. Let them soak for 4-6 hours, or overnight, at room temperature.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly under running water.
Add the drained cashews to a high-speed blender along with 1/2 cup of filtered water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness or flavoring if desired by adding more maple syrup or vanilla extract.
Transfer the whipped cashew cream to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to thicken and chill before serving.
Serve as a topping for desserts, pancakes, fruit, or any dish that could use a creamy, dairy-free addition.
