A budget tip: At your local Indian grocery, look for the broken cashew pieces (they are packaged separately) instead of the whole, pretty cashews. You save a LOT.

Great tip!!!
I found that making the cream twice increases the creaminess. Allow the original mix to rest for several hours or overnight in the fridge and then re-blend for a few minutes. This virtually eliminates any residual grittiness from unblended nuts.

If you do it in the small 4 cup food processor it comes out perfect. Better then the vitamix and large food processor.

Blenders are funny and can't be judged by their appearances. I have a Blendtec that's 1550 watts with 2 blades and it does so much better at blending than my Ninja that's 1500 watts with 6 blades.

This cashew cream... I've been wanting to make it for months and finally did it. It's SO good!! The texture of the cream also makes everything on the plate even more exciting. Thank you for your amazing and delicious recipes!
I made the cinnamon vanilla version this week and it taste amazing!! I put it on a rice cake for breakfast. This will be my go-to cashew cream recipe..I can’t wait to try the other flavors!!

Cashew cream is a life saver for me. I didn't develop sensitivity to lactose until my early twenties. I can have "sour cream" on my tacos and spinach/artichoke dip without the discomfort.

This is actually great. I’m looking to incorporate more plant based staples in my diet but dislike that some vegan substitutes are monotonous. Can you please make a video on how to diversify substitutes so it’s more than just nuts and coconut?
what i've learned from making hummus is that ice cubes are a secret to creaminess, i can't explain it, but i now made cashew-chickpea-garlic hummus with a standard blender, not super powerful, but added a bunch of icecubes (and a splash of water) and it made it soooo smooth and creamy!
Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to making them.
This is super helpful! I have made cashew cream a few times and it's always been good but not great. I think I wasn't blending it enough or adding those extra ingredients. Thank you!

The Cilantro Cashew cream and Ginger Sriracha are weekly staples. I've shared these cashew creams with friends/family and they love them. I always get the comment that they look for any foods to eat with these creams because they're that good. I need to try the other ones in pdf. Thank you for these recipes!

Love your videos! I've been making cashew cream for years and I find with a vitamix I don't need to soak the cashews. I used to make it in a regular blender with soaked cashews, It worked, You just need enough liquid and keep scraping it down. Dessert cashew cream is great for strawberry shortcake!
I just made the ginger sriracha one OMG!!!!! game changer. Ty.
I give this video a thumbs up before trying it out. I just know the sauces will all have an amazing taste.
I love this video. I can’t wait to make these recipes.
All these sauces are making me drool Nisha! I've been looking for new cashew sauce variations and can't wait to try the lemon sriracha and rosemary miso one! I'll probably be adding them to all my veggies now.

I've been making cashew sauces for years. With a Vitamix you don't need to presoak the cashews at all, I blend mine on high for 5 min so it gets steaming hot- always as smooth as real cream. If you don't have a Vitamix def soak them.

Hi there! Oops, I do mention it in the blog post with the recipes. They should stay good for a minimum of 5 days, but I can usually store them for a week (I just had two of them after one week and they were still good).
Oh this awesome! This would be a great flavor booster!

I don't have a blender, but I found out that my local grocery store sells cashew butter so at the moment I just mix that with soy milk until it reaches the desired creaminess and then add other ingredients to taste. Surely more expensive than doing it from scratch, but it works well for the occasional snack.
