Sauce, cream and sour cream from cashews!

You ever tasted a delicious vegan desserts in the image and likeness resembling rich cream, but more secure in terms of fat and calories? They are based often use a cream made of cashew nuts, is a real find for us, seekers of gluten-free and bestcasino the joys of life. If you also are using raw nuts, then the product will turn out raw food (another bonus for digestion).

Today we cook a cream of cashews for 3 recipes. It is obtained by soaking nuts and their subsequent pulverization-mixing in a blender/food processor. How much water you add depends on the consistency of the final product ("cheese" to "cream").





 

In cream can add whatever you want:

• honey or maple syrup — will be a dessert option
• salt or lemon — here's the sour cream
• cocoa powder and vanilla extract for a cream cake will do

It is very important in the preparation of a cream from cashews good nuts to survive in soaked form. Then process in the blender will go better. You need to take into account the fact that the roasted cashew nuts will NOT give the desired neutral taste, and besides more difficult mixing in a blender. The cream can to pack tightly and store in the refrigerator for four to five days.

I will give you some recommendations on the use of the cream:

• Add to the soup instead of cream or milk (Yay! Again soup!)
• Use in desserts instead of cream.
• As a sauce (no casein!) for your favorite dishes, including vegetable. In this case you will need more liquid version of the cream and will need to "charge" it with spices and salt. Options soon discuss.
