Cashew Cream

 

Cashew cream is very easy to make and can be added vegan recipes where dairy cream would have been used.  Because of the fat content in cashew cream behaves much like cream when cooking with it.  It is great in sauces and soups.
Cashews contain fiber, copper, manganese, tryptophan, magnesium and phosphorus and 75% of the fat us unsaturated.

Cover 2 cups of raw cashews with cold water.  Soak over night.  drain the water off and place the cashews in a blender or food processor.  Cover with fresh cold water and process until smooth.  Cashew cream may be strained if you wish.
