Weekly Spotlight: Creating Recipes with Cashew Cream

When replacing cream in a recipe, you’ve got a lot of options from store-bought non-dairy creamers to coconut milk. Another wonderful way to use a non-dairy alternative in recipes is using cashew cream. This is different than cashew milk because cashew milk is much more liquid than cashew cream. Cashew cream is soaked cashews that are blended into a luxurious cream, which you can use in place of heavy dairy cream or as a cheesy base for a recipe. It also adds a bit of bulk to the dish to make it a bit more filling. If you’ve been wanting to try making cashew-based meals using cashew cream, these are the recipes! You can create desserts, entrees, and even make cashew cheese; the options seem endless.
