Pro tips for best vegan cashew cream

• Use a high powered blender. By using a high powered blender, it will create a super smooth and creamy texture. In fact, you don’t have to soak the cashews before blending it as it can blend it well
• Use raw cashew instead of roasted. Only use cashew raw rather than roasted ones. To create delicious and umami vegan cream, you want to have a neutral flavor. That is why using raw cashews are best. However, if you use roasted cashews, it will still appear creamy but the taste will not as yummy as raw cashews.
• Why the cashew is soaked. The reason why the cashews must be soaked is to soften their texture so it can be blended faster and can create smoother and creamier. Although it is not a must to soak it if you blend it with high powered blender, it is best to soak it first for four hours or overnight
• Don’t pour the water, but add it gradually if you want to reach the creamy consistency that you want.

After soaked overnight and then drained, the cashews must be drained and blended with water in a high powdered blender. It is a better blender, not a food processor to make cashew cream.

However, if you don’t have a high powered blender, just use a regular one but blend it longer up to 1 minute or the cashews must be soaked at least 4 hours to overnight to soften them up.

To get the best texture, stop the blender and scrape it down once in a while.
