Let's cook.

01

Soak Cashews

Start by soaking the cashews in a bowl of cold water. Let them sit for a couple of hours or, if you have time, overnight works best. Once they’re nice and soft, drain the water.

Cook's tip

- Use a high-speed blender to get a smooth and silky consistency.
- Add a pinch of salt or a bit of lemon juice to balance the flavor and brighten the cream.

Why you’ll love it

This creamy, dairy-free alternative is perfect for those avoiding lactose or following a plant-based diet. It offers a rich, smooth texture and a mild, nutty flavor that enhances both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering them.

Serving ideas

Use this creamy base as a topping for soups, a sauce for pasta, or a dip for fresh vegetables. It also works wonderfully as a dairy-free alternative in desserts like fruit parfaits or drizzled over baked goods.

Storage & leftovers

Store the cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir well before using, as it may thicken or separate slightly when chilled. For longer storage, freeze in small portions and thaw in the fridge overnight.
