Cashew Cream For Coffee Recipes

Steps:

• Place cashews in large jar or bowl. Cover with about 2 cups of boiling water, making sure all of the cashews are submerged. Let soak for 20 minutes. Pour cashews and liquid into a fine-mesh strainer to strain the soaking liquid. Rinse.
• Drain the water and discard. Place drained cashews in the pitcher of a blender. Add 1 cup of water, vanilla if using, and salt if using. Blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute, adding more water a couple of tablespoons at a time if needed to get it moving. Add additional water, up to another 1/2 to 1 cup or so, until it's the creamer is consistency you like. I go for a rich and creamy, half-and-half-ish thickness. But also know that your cashew creamer will thicken in the fridge.
• Use in coffee just as you would any other creamer. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for about 5 days. It might separate in the fridge; simply shake before pouring.

Steps:

• Soak cashews in water for at least 8 hours, or hot water for 1-2 hours. Soak Medjool Dates for at least 1 hour in water. Drain Cashews and Dates. Place all ingredients in a high powdered blender and blend until smooth. Will have to use tapper to push ingredients down while blending. Pour into container and keep refrigerated. Use as a coffee creamer.
• Will keep for up to 2 weeks.
