Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashews soaked
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon or more lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon raw sugar (optional)

Method

  1. Soak the cashews for a few hours. Drain and wash.
  2. Blend with the rest of the ingredients and a few tablespoons of water until creamy. Taste and adjust tang and salt. Add 1 tsp nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor profile. Add more lemon juice for tangier cream.
  3. I use my nutribullet to make this smaller quantity. If your blender cannot handle the small quantity, double the recipe and blend.
