Tips

  • Soak raw cashews for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Separation is normal, just shake before use; grittiness means not blended long enough or blender is not high-powered.
  • Coconut cream can be omitted for less creaminess.
  • If using almonds or a non-high-powered blender, strain through a nut milk bag.
