Description

This sweet cashew cream is a lovely smooth blend of cashews and dates with a hint of fresh lemon juice. With only 3 key ingredients, this cream sauce takes less than 10 minutes to make and goes beautifully drizzled on Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars, Vegan Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, or as a dip for fresh fruit. This tasty cream sauce is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup raw cashews
  • 2 dates, pitted (or 1/3 cup of Simple Homemade Date Syrup)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup of water (add one or more tablespoons of water for a thinner consistency)

Instructions

Put raw cashews, *dates, and water into a small pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 4 minutes to soften. Remove from heat and strain.

*Note: If using Simple Homemade Date Syrup, only cook the cashews for 4 minutes. Add softened cashews, date syrup, lemon juice, and water to the mini blender, and blend until smooth and creamy.
