Basic Thick Cashew Cream image

This is a delicous cashew cream that can be used to replace sweetened condensed milk, or used as a luciously thick dessert topping. You'll find ways to use it... It comes from a cookbook called Vegan Chocolate by Fran Costigan. She's a dessert genius and I highly recommend her book!

Time 4h6m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup whole raw cashews (5 ounces/142 grams, rinsed and soaked 3-4 hours or overnight. Or use boiling water and they'll be re)
2/3 cup water (I actually use about half because I like the cream to be thick, 160 ml)
1/4 cup maple syrup (60 ml)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon guar gum (can substitute xanthan gum or omit)

Steps:

  • Drain the cashews and put them in a blender. Add the water and maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until the cream is perfectly smooth.
  • Add the guar gum and blend for another minute and a half.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I'm always on the lookout for dairy-free alternatives. This cashew cream is a lifesaver! It's a great substitute for sour cream or heavy cream.

I'm not vegan, but I'm always looking for ways to incorporate more plant-based foods into my diet. This cashew cream is a great way to do that.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make this cashew cream. I didn't have any cashews on hand, so I used almonds instead. It turned out just as good!
