Notes

• This makes a little under 2 cups of cashew cream. Serving size is 1/4 cup.
• If you are not using a high speed blender, there are a couple of options for making your sauce smooth: You can use a coffee grinder to grind the nuts into a fine powder, or make sure to soak your them overnight, or for at least 2 to 3 hours. If you forget, you can also boil them for 30 minutes.
• Add the pepper depending on the recipe you are using this for.
