Ingredients
- 1/2 c whole raw cashews
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
- pinch salt
- 1/4 c water
- ≤2 T vegan powdered sugar For a sweet version
Preparation
Step 1
Just cover the cashews in water. Let sit for 30 minutes, or longer (up to overnight) if you have the time. They'll increase in volume as they soak.
In a blender, combine the cashews, lemon juice, salt, and water. Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
If the cream is too thick, then add more water half a tablespoon at a time whilst blending until your desired consistency is reached.
If using for a sweet dish, then stir in up to 2 T vegan powdered sugar.
Use immediately, or cover and store for up to a few days.
