This is a simple recipe but difficult to get just right. You need a good blender and some finesse.<\/p>\n

I made the cashew cream to go with a vegan pumpkin pie<\/a> I took to a Thanksgiving Potluck<\/a> in 2007 and again in 2008<\/a>, though it’s delicious on anything sweet.<\/p>\n

Recipe:<\/h2>\n

2 cups raw cashew pieces (I keep them in the freezer)
\nJuice of one small lemon
\n2 teaspoons vanilla extract
\nPinch of salt
\nDash or two of white stevia powder (or use a another sweetener if you prefer)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Soak the cashews overnight (anything between 4 and 24 hours is fine).<\/p>\n

Drain and rinse the nuts and blend them with as much water as they need.\u00a0 You may need to do this in several batches.<\/p>\n

\"Michael

Michael & Miriam blend the cashews<\/p><\/div>\n

Add the rest of the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Keep blending, then stop and use a spatula regularly to get it all. Make sure it is very smooth.\u00a0 Don’t be afraid to add water, but taste the cream frequently to make sure you aren’t over doing it.\u00a0 If the blender is strong, the nuts will cream up and absorb the extra liquid.\u00a0 If not, you’ll have a somewhat gritty cream (which won’t take too much liquid, so be aware) but it will still taste good.<\/p>\n

Serve as you would whipped cream.\u00a0 It will keep in the refrigerator for several days.<\/p>\n
