How to Prepare Chipotle Cashew Creme

  1. Rinse cashews under cold water with a strainer or colander. Place cashews in a large bowl or container with enough water to cover the nuts. Let sit for 3-4 hours or overnight. (If soaking overnight, rinse once more using a strainer/colander, replace the water and store in the fridge.)
  2. Drain and rinse cashews.
  3. Place all ingredients in a blender and start on low speed. You may need to add a little more water to the mixture and gradually increase the speed of the blender until the desired creaminess is reached.

Notes

You'll notice I don't suggest using a food processor. The blender makes the sauce extra-creamy while the food processor just makes it lumpy.
