Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It is really just a simple nut cream - put it in the freezer for about 30 min to an hour before serving for a thicker consistency (or put it in an ice cream freezer and you can eat it like ice cream) Recipe makes 1 cup - and is suitable for vegan and raw diets Ingredients: 1 cup raw cashews 1 vanilla bean 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup veg oil (I like using coconut oil) 1/8 - 1/4 cup agave (more or less to taste) pinch of salt Put cashews and 1/4 cup of water in your VitaMix (or other high speed blender) and turn to high. Slowly add the remaining water. Next, drizzle in the oil. This should now be the consistency of nice thick cream. Add & blend remaining ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour. We really like using the whole vanilla bean in this recipe, but you could substitute with 1 tsp or so of vanilla extract, or even almond extract added is good. I use this as a base for a lot of ice creams - you can put it in an ice cream freezer, then add chocolate shavings, or almond bits, or shredded coconut - the possibilities are endless.
