Cashew Cream - A Whole30 & Paleo Cream Substitute
A Whole30 & Paleo cream substitute made from cashews that is dairy free. Use it in soups, sauces, beverages and more.
Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 79
Ingredients
- 1 cup of raw cashews soaked overnight in 1.5 cups water (I like soaking in a pint size mason jar)
- 1/2 cup water or more for a thinner consistency
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
- Add the soaked cashews and a fresh 1/2 cup of water to your high speed blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides with a spatula half way through.
- Will keep for 1 week refrigerated. I like storing mine in half pint mason jars.
- Use as a 1:1 ratio for cream in sauces and and cooking recipes.
Notes
I've made this without soaking my cashews first, and my high speed blender still does a pretty good job of making it smooth. But it is *much* creamier when I use soaked cashews.
