Cashew cream is a great vegan substitute for ice creams and puddings. Its creamy sweetness finishes a meal beautifully…or enjoy it as a snack all by itself, garnished with fresh berries and perhaps a sprinkle of chia seeds.

SUGAR FREE CASHEW CREAM RECIPE

Ingredients

• 1 cup good quality cashews

• ¼ cup water

• 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• pinch of salt

• 1 ½ tsp Liokareas lemon olive oil

 Instructions

Soak the cashews overnight in 2 cups of lukewarm water. Drain the water before using.

Blend the softened cashews in a small blender cup, adding a little water at a time until they become creamy.

Add the monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, and the lemon olive oil and blend again.

To serve, scoop a little into a small bowl and serve with berries of your choice.

*Note: if you don’t have lemon olive oil, substitute with regular olive oil and a little lemon zest
