Cashew Crema Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the Cashews

    Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the cashews, 1 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the crema and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve or Store

    Transfer the cashew crema to a container. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
