Calories: 100kcal
Cost: Approx $8-$10
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
- 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed)
- 1 tablespoon cannabis-infused coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly under cold water
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, cannabis-infused coconut oil, maple syrup or agave nectar (if using), and vanilla extract (if using)
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached
- Once the cashew cream is smooth and creamy, taste and adjust the sweetness and flavoring if desired
- If a smoother texture is desired, strain the cashew cream through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids. This step is optional but will result in a smoother consistency
- Transfer the cannabis cashew cream to a clean container or jar and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. It will thicken slightly as it chills
- Use Cannabis Cashew Cream as a dairy-free alternative in recipes calling for heavy cream, sour cream, or yogurt, or enjoy it drizzled over fresh fruit, stirred into oatmeal, or blended into smoothies
Notes
- Store leftover Cannabis Cashew Cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Customize the flavor of the cashew cream by adding spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom, or experiment with different extracts such as almond or coconut.
- Adjust the consistency of the cashew cream by adding more or less water depending on your preference.
