Sweet Cashew Dessert Cream

Sweet Cashew Dessert Cream

Serves: 8

Ingredients

  • 1/2 raw cashews
  • 1 cup water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or rice syrup
  • ¼ Teaspoon sea salt.

Instructions

1

Place the cashews in a medium bowl. Add 2 cups of the water, and leave to soak 6 hours or overnight. This will plump and soften the cashews.

2

Drain the soaked cashews and rinse under running water. Place in the vase of a high-speed blender. Add the remaining water and maple syrup and the salt. Blend at high speed until the nuts become a smooth cream. Taste for salt. Pile into a bowl and chill.

3

When ready to serve, fluff the cream by whipping it up with a balloon whisk.
