Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup Raw Cashews ((150g))
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice (Optional)
1/2 cup Water ((120ml))
1/2 tsp Salt (Optional)

Steps:

  • Add the cashews, lemon juice (if using) water and salt (if using) to the blender jug and blend until smooth.
  • The basic cream recipe is really just the cashews and water. If you want a thinner cream then use up to a 1/4 cup more water. The lemon juice and salt add a tang and a little savory flavor, though it's mild. It makes this stand out more as a standalone recipe ready to use as is. If you are really wanting just the blank slate recipe to use in another recipe or to closely match unflavored dairy cream, then start with just the cashews and water only.

VEGAN CASHEW ALFREDO SAUCE



Vegan Cashew Alfredo Sauce image

As someone who is lactose intolerant and loves Italian cream-based sauces, I have searched high and low for a decent, easy to make recipe for vegan/non-dairy alfredo sauce. I have experimented with as many of the ones I could find on the internet and have finally come close. I have used this on pasta tossed with sauteed veggies, and as a white sauce (bechamel sauce) in lasagna. It doesn't reheat well in the microwave, but will re-heat on the stove on low for 5 minutes. There are many variations out there but I am pretty happy with this one. You can add spices to change the flavor.

Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup raw, unsalted cashews
1 ½ cups water
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup water, or as needed
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak cashews in 1 1/2 cups water until softened in a bowl, at least 20 minutes.
  • Drain water; add almond milk. Blend mixture in an electric blender or food processor until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add water until sauce is slightly thinner than you want it for the final product, as it thickens when heated. Add garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into a saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through and desired thickness is achieved, about 5 minutes. You can add additional water or almond milk if sauce becomes too thick.

Tips:

  • For a richer sauce, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • To make the sauce thinner, add a little bit of water or vegetable broth.
  • If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can soak the cashews in hot water for 30 minutes before blending.
  • Add a teaspoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
  • Stir in some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or tofu.
