Method

  1. Rinse cashews
  2. Place in a large jar, cover with water, double the volume of the cashews, about 4 cups. Cover and let soak overnight.
  3. Drain water, rinse cashews and put in blender. Pour 3 cups of water in the blender. For thicker cream use less water, for thinner use more. Blend until smooth.
  4. Strain into a container through a fine mesh sieve.
  5. If cream is for a sweet dish, add sweetener and vanilla.
  6. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Lasts 3-4 days. Cashew cream may be frozen.
