Go away a Remark

Have you ever skilled cashew butter? It’s chic and someway a lot extra scrumptious than a handful of toasted cashews. A spoonful of selfmade cashew butter tastes like a deal with.

You’re in control of how “toasty” your cashew butter tastes. My recipe suggests baking them for 10 minutes, which brings out the cashews’ greatest taste with out tasting overtly roasted. If you want a higher depth of taste, you possibly can go away your nuts in for a number of further minutes. Stir them on the 10-minute mark, then preserve an in depth eye one them to make sure that the nuts across the edges don’t burn.

Use a meals processor reasonably than a blender. I like my fancy Vitamix, however I’m on Group Meals Processor for nut butter (right here’s mine). The meals processor takes a couple of minutes longer however doesn’t require my involvement.
