Basic Thick Cashew Cream image

This is a delicous cashew cream that can be used to replace sweetened condensed milk, or used as a luciously thick dessert topping. You'll find ways to use it... It comes from a cookbook called Vegan Chocolate by Fran Costigan. She's a dessert genius and I highly recommend her book!

Time 4h6m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup whole raw cashews (5 ounces/142 grams, rinsed and soaked 3-4 hours or overnight. Or use boiling water and they'll be re)
2/3 cup water (I actually use about half because I like the cream to be thick, 160 ml)
1/4 cup maple syrup (60 ml)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon guar gum (can substitute xanthan gum or omit)

Steps:

  • Drain the cashews and put them in a blender. Add the water and maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until the cream is perfectly smooth.
  • Add the guar gum and blend for another minute and a half.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was too thick and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making it again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce came out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This sauce is way too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I made this sauce with almonds instead. It turned out great! The almonds gave the sauce a slightly different flavor, but it was still very delicious.

This sauce is so good! I used it as a topping for my tacos, and it was the perfect addition. It added a creamy, nutty flavor that really took the tacos to the next level.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't come out as smooth as I expected. It was a bit grainy. Not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of cashews, but this sauce was surprisingly good. The flavor is mild and creamy, and it went really well with the roasted vegetables I served it with.

This sauce is a bit too thick for my taste, but it's still very good. I think next time I'll add a little bit of water or broth to thin it out.
