Cashew Cream

 Makes 1 cup

This can be used as a crepe filling or cake filling (using less liquid)

This makes a nice substitute for yoghurt to top your breakfast with.

To get that yoghurt tang use ½ tsp of lemon juice per tbsp. of cashew cream.

½ cup raw cashew nuts

2 cups of hot water

1 medjool date, pitted. You can leave out the date if you want to use it in a savory dish.

Method

Soak nuts for half an hour then drain, reserving ½ cup of the liquid. Process the nuts, liquid and date until very smooth and creamy. To use as a cake filling or similar you can use less liquid and maybe use another date. You could add some cacao if you want a chocolate hit!
