How to Prepare Super Easy Versatile Cashew Cream (With A 3-Minute Option) [Vegan]

In a bowl, cover the raw cashews with tepid water and put a lid on the bowl. Allow to soak overnight. If you use boiling water, they only need to soak for 2 hours.

Whizz for 3 minutes whilst gradually increasing the speed to high until creamy-smooth.

For The 3-Minute Soak:

Put the raw cashews in a microwave proof bowl and cover them with tepid water. Put a lid on and microwave on high heat for 3 minutes.
When done, transfer the hot cashews into a strainer and drain all of the hot water. Rinse the cashews under cold running water to cool them.
Transfer the soft cashews to a blender and add the 1½ cups tepid water and proceed as above to blend.
