Just two ingredients, ridiculously easy to make, and full of innumerable culinary benefits, this vegan cashew cream is every good cook’s secret weapon!

When I lived in India, my friend Usha taught me some of the secrets of her amazing cooking. Chief among them was this – cashew cream.

It’s the key to giving curries an amazingly creamy consistency, plus a hint of sweetness, without having to add any dairy, extra oil, or sugar. It really is a little miracle!

It also makes a great base for my ricotta, ice creams, truffles, and other treats. It’s very versatile!

Cashew Cream

Is…

• creamy (duh!)
• smooth
• versatile
• sweet
• dairy-free
• gluten-free
• free from added sugar
• free from added fat
• nutritious
• totally deelish!

I add cashew cream to some of my vegan cheese recipes – again, it adds a lovely creamy richness. It’s also great when blended with a couple of frozen bananas, for a banana-cashew ice cream, and is pretty darn fab in smoothies too.

It goes without saying that it’s sooo good straight out of the pot.

Enjoy!
