Cashew Cream

Cashew cream is a recent discovery.  I have been trying to find non-dairy ways to add "creams" and "milks" to recipes.  I happened upon an episode on "The Chew" where they were making a cashew cream sauce for a recipe they were making.  That began my research to find out what it is and different ways to use it.  Here is how to make cashew cream...

Ingredients:
Raw Cashews
water

Step 1. Crush 1 1/2 cups cashews into pieces.  Place into pot of water and boil 45 minutes-1 hour.

Step 2. Strain the water and place cashews into blender.  Cover cashews 3/4 of the way for a thicker cream, and completely cover cashews for a thinner cream. 

Step 3. Blend on high 2 minutes, allow to rest a minute, and blend again 2 minutes. 

The possibilities for use of the cream are endless.  Get creative in their use.  I am discovering a variety of uses.  Watch for recipes using the cashew cream!!!
