Sauteed Figs with Cashew Creme image

This is one of my favorite vegan desserts. The cashew cream tastes great on its own as well, but throw in some fresh figs and it's to die for.

I wasn't sure about the combination of figs and cashews, but it actually worked really well. The sweetness of the figs balanced out the saltiness of the cashews.
