  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked for 2 hours (soaking is optional)
  • 1 – 2 Tbsp raw organic honey, depending on taste
  • 1/4-1/2 cup filtered water depending on desired thickness
  • Could add a tiny pinch of cinnamon – takes the edge off the sweetness and is great for fruitcake.
  • Could add brandy for Brandy Cream for Christmas pudding.
  1. Place all ingredients in your blender (I use a Vitamix) and puree till smooth and creamy.

**You need a high speed blender like a Vitamix, in order to achieve a really creamy consistency.

Piggy Cooking Tips

selecting and storing raw cashews

“Raw” cashews are widely available in pre-packaged bags as well as bulk bins. Always purchase from a supplier where there is a high turnover to ensure freshness and quality. Look for plump cashews that are uniform in colour. Avoid the limp and shrivelled ones. Cashews should smell nutty and sweet. If they have a sharp or bitter smell they have gone rancid. To preserve the precious oils, store cashews in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to six months. Always soak cashews before using to remove the enzyme inhibitors and make them more digestible.
