*Soaking cashews to make cashew cream—one of my favorite things to cook with*

A vegan alternative to heavy cream that loses none of the delicious flavor.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups raw cashews
1 cup filtered water (plus more for soaking)

For savory cream:

1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp lemon juice

For sweet cream:

2 Tbsp maple syrup

DIRECTIONS

Soak cashews overnight in filtered water. Rinse and drain. Using a high-speed blender, blend cashews and water (add more water for a thinner cream). Add salt & lemon juice for a savory cream, or maple syrup for dessert baking.
