VEGAN CASHEW CREMA

Ingredients

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.
