Sweet Cashew Cream - (WFPB, vegan, oil-free)

Guys.. this stuff is addictingly good. Use it like you would whipped cream. You can eat it like pudding if you want to -- no judgment.

Note: I hiiiiighly recommend a 'serious' blender for this. In general, a high speed blender (Vitamix, Blendtec, etc) is invaluable for eating WFPB. But, you can absolutely try this in other blenders/food processors. In that case, you MUST soak the cashews for a long time to get the best results.


Ingredients: 

1 cup raw cashews
4-5 medjool dates (pit removed)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cups of water (gradually adding more if needed)

First, bring a few cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Then turn off heat, and add cashews to the water. Cover with lid and let sit for at least 30 minutes. If not using a high-speed blender, let them soak for 2+ hours.

Drain cashews and place in blender with all other ingredients. Blend until creamy and smooth. If too thick, gradually add spoonfuls of water and keep blending.

And that's it. Now use it for parfaits, topping on pies, etc.
