VEGAN CASHEW CREMA

total timeIngredients
2 cups raw unsalted cashews
Juice of 1 lime, plus extra to taste
Juice of 1 lemon, plus extra to taste
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra to taste
Directions
Place the cashews in a blender jar and cover them with 1½ cups of water. Set the cashews aside to soak for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. The longer they soak, the softer they’ll get, making for a creamier result.
Pour off the water and add the lime juice, lemon juice, and salt to the cashews. Puree until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust with more salt, lemon, and/or lime juice if needed. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
You don’t have to be vegan to love this crema. Pureed cashews are so buttery, you’ll swear this is made with dairy.
