We have a version of cashew cream sauce ready and in the fridge at all times. When it’s not the main sauce for a meal, it’s often an add-on for extra flavor.
Basic Recipe
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 to 1 cup water
Add all ingredients into food processor or high-powered blender and blend until creamy in texture.
Simple Variations
- Reduce the amount of water to thicken for a topping
- Add 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for a cheesier texture (perfect for pasta dishes)
- Add 1-2 Tbsp of chipotle seasoning and tomato paste for a spicy variation
- Use dairy-free milk instead of water for more creaminess
Ways to Use It
From a cheese-like flavor to a creamy topping, cashew cream is always a hit:
- Chipotle cream is the perfect topping for vegan enchiladas or burritos
- No more Kraft! I love a good vegan macaroni and cheese dish (add kale or chard for extra flavor)
- Use a thick version as a topping on baked potatoes or chili
