Cashew cream can be used for so many delicious recipes, both savory and sweet. I make this basic cashew cream and then will add other ingredients later based on what I am using it for.

Ingredients:

1 cup raw cashews

Pinch of salt

3/4 cup water

Note: To make a sweet version you can also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 tablespoons of honey, agave or maple syrup.

Directions:

1) Place the cashews into a bowl of water and soak overnight

2) Drain the cashews and place them in a blender with salt and water. Blend until smooth.
