Created by my friend Annie Keohane
2 cups cashews
1 TBS coconut oil (the solid white kind – spectrum or nutiva)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup water
Soak cashews in filtered water overnight or 6-8 hours. Rinse well and place in blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend till creamy and smooth. Add a little more water if it's too thick. Taste to see if you want to add more vanilla or maple syrup.
This is a great non-dairy whipped topping for the holidays. For a healthy dessert you can make sundaes by blending frozen bananas, strawberries and a few dates with just enough water to make it blendable and spoon into bowls. Top with cashew cream, some chopped nuts and coconut, maybe some shaved organic dark chocolate if you like.
