Cashew Cream

If you’re allergic or sensitive to dairy products or are vegan, finding a good alternative to heavy cream can be a challenge.  Enter the humble cashew!  Cashews aren’t actually nuts.  They’re a seed attached to a pseudo-fruit and look like a small boxing glove. Follow this link to learn more.

Cashews make a great alternative to cream.  The recipe below has the consistency of heavy cream.  If you want a thicker cream, add less water. The flavor is delicate and very good served over cake slices and with fruits.  You can also substitute it for heavy cream in recipes.

1 cup raw cashews (often sold at natural foods stores)

I was given a small bottle of Rain’s Choice in a gift basket and I have been hooked ever since. The flavor makes all of my baking so much better! I will never use grocery store vanilla again!
