SnacksDairy Freegluten-freeKeto FriendlyPaleo FriendlyVegan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews soaked for 6 hours or overnight
  • 2 garlic clove
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Probiotics 30 billion
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary for garnish
  • 2 heaping tsp nutritional yeast optional

Instructions

  • After cashews have soaked, drain the water and give them a quick rinse.
  • Place cashews in a high power blender and add garlic, apple cider vinegar, water, dried rosemary, sea salt and nutritional yeast if using. Blend until smooth and creamy. See my NOTE about blending!
  • Add probiotics. Sprinkle into blender and blend again.
  • Scrape out the mixture on to a cheese cloth and place in a medium size bowl. Let sit on counter for 24 to 72 hours. Or place in a warm place like the oven, with the oven OFF.

Notes

*NOTE: The key to get it super creamy is making sure you blend it really really well. It should be almost like cream when it's finished blending. I don't think it would work in a food processor, you need a high power blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix.
