Vegan Cashew Creamer FAQs

Is cashew cream the same as cashew milk? 

No, they are not the same. Cashew cream is made by blending water-soaked cashews with maple syrup and vanilla extract until they form a thick and creamy mixture. You can then use this mixture in place of dairy cream in recipes. Cashew milk is made by blending water and cashews together until they form a milk-like consistency. It can be used in place of dairy milk in recipes or enjoyed on its own.

Can I make this recipe without a food processor? 

Yes, you can! Simply place the soaked and drained cashews into a large blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. The blending process may take a few minutes, so be patient.

If you want your coffee creamer to be sweeter, you can add more maple syrup, date syrup, or agave nectar to the recipe. You can also add a few drops of liquid stevia for a calorie-free option.

Is this recipe gluten-free? 

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free. Just be sure to check the labels of the ingredients you use to make sure they are certified gluten-free if you are sensitive to gluten.

Do I have to soak the cashews before making this recipe? 

No. Soaking the cashews is not required, but it is highly recommended. Soaking helps the cashews become softer, making them easier to blend. It also helps to remove any impurities that may be present on the cashews.

Can I use another nut in place of cashews? 

If you are allergic to cashews or want to try something different, you can use almonds, macadamia nuts, or Brazil nuts instead. Just make sure to soak them in water for at least 4 hours before blending.
