I was craving this “cake batter” recipe,
but I only had a few ingredients and a few minutes,
so I whipped up this Cashew Cream.
It made the PERFECT post-yoga snack –
a tiny bit sweet, with a little salty
and a dose of good fat and protein.
Just lick it up with a spoon or use it as an alternative to whipped cream and drizzle on top of some Cinnamon Roll Donut Holes.
Cashew Cream
What You Need:
1 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened (or hemp, hazelnut, coconut milk or coconut water)
3 tbs coconut butter (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
3 dates (or 1/2 tsp maple syrup, coconut palm sugar or brown rice syrup)
Directions:
1. Soak raw cashews in water (at least 1 hr but overnight is best)
2. Drain soaked cashews.
3. Add ingredients (soaked cashews, milk, sweetener, vanilla, sea salt)
to blender and blend on low until creamy.
*Yields approx 5 servings
*add more milk or water if you want less of a thick texture and more of a creamy consistency.
It’s also perfect for breakfast:
add it on top of some home-made granola.
Or, if you’re feeling fancy, eat it for dessert:
add some cacao nibs, shredded coconut,
and cinnamon.
