Cashew Cream

Alright, I use Cashew Cream a lot. It is super easy to make, works as a great substitute for any recipe that calls for cream, and will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days.

You will need -

1lb Whole Raw Cashews ( I use Trader Joes packaged )
about 3 cups boiling water (enough to cover Cashews)
bowl to hold Cashews
food processor or blender

1. Place Cashews in bowl


2. Pour boiling water over cashews with enough water to cover



3. Cover bowl with a plate, and let sit for at least 2 hours up to overnight

4. Drain off liquid, and pour into the food processor


5.  Turn food processor on, and process for 5 minutes. Keep a cup full of hot water to add as its processing to thin it out a bit, and keep it smooth



6. Place cream into a container to store in fridge for up to 7 days. (I like to use a large mason jar)



Enjoy!
