Recipe by Chad Sarno

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cashews raw, then soaked for a couple of hours to soften
  • 1 can of light coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup, or 4 pitted dates
  • Pinch of sea salt

Directions

  1. Once the cashews have been soaking for a couple of hours to soften, which makes them easier to blend, strain the water.
  2. Using a high speed blender, add the soaked cashews and other ingredients and blend until smooth. Use a touch of the water as needed to help the mixture blend.
  3. If you would like this cream to thicken up a bit to be more ‘scoopable’, add 1/4 tsp guar gum once the cream is at the consistency you would like.
