Super creamy, super delicious, super awesome! The way cashew cream should be.

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
Preparation
- Put cashews in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 4 hours.
- Drain cashews. Place in a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Cover with cold water and blend until smooth. Use less water for a thicker cashew cream. I’ve also used non-dairy milk instead of water for an extra creamy sauce.
Notes

Is this good as a 1 to 1 substitute for any recipe needing cream? What about heavy cream? What else can it be a substitute for?
So for the butter we blend the nuts alone and for the icecream we add a little water!
