Serves: 1¾ cup
 
Raw cashew cream or cashew sour cream
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Raw Cashews, soaked for about 4 hours (or 8)
  • 2½ tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Water, about ¼ cup
  • Pinch of salt
  • Soaked Raw Cashews vs Dry
Instructions
  1. Drain soaked cashews and place into a good blender, like a Vitamix
  2. Add pinch of salt, lemon juice, and turn on blender, adding in water until you reach a thick, yet spreadable consistency.
  3. If you add more water, you will turn this into a cashew sour cream. If you'd like it more tart, simply add a little more lemon juice.
  4. If you'd like to change the flavor profile-simply add in some fresh herbs like basil, chives, or nutrition yeast. This is very adaptable.
  5. To assemble cucumber appetizers, you can mix some fresh chives into the cashew base and place into a ziploc bag. Cut a small piece off the corner. Use to pipe cream onto cucumbers and top with scallions or chives. Capers would go well too!
