what you need:
180g cashews
60ml lemon juice
120ml filtered water
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
what to do
Cover cashews with filtered water and soak for about 4 hours. Soaking reduces the phytic acid in the cashew and also makes for a creamier consistency. Drain cashews and rinse well.
Place in a food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Process at high speed for one minute until the texture is silky and smooth. Process for a further 30 secs to a minute if required.
You can adjust the consistency by adding more water. Keep in mind the cream becomes thicker once it has been refrigerated overnight.
notes
Can be used as a replacement for pizza cheese; mix with sauerkraut for a creamy gut healthy dressing; mix in with some cooked mushrooms for an easy comfort breakfast or just dollop on a plate of roast veggies.
