About

Cashew creams are known for their versatility and creaminess. Soaked and rinsed cashews are blended into a lightly sweetened and flavoured single or double cream, or you can add setting agents like coconut oil or cocoa butter to make Chantilly cream, clotted cream or mascarpone cream. Use half cashews and half coconut yoghurt for a lighter end result.
