use less water and you have "cream". Add a teaspoon or two of lemon
juice, let sit and you have "sour cream" or "yoghurt" to use as
replacements in recipes.
I make a cashew nut "cream cheese" that is very good. LMK if you want
the recipe.
I use cashew nuts in preference to almonds because you don't have to
strain cashew nut milk. If you don't have a high speed blender like a
Vitamix or a Blendtec, soak the nuts for at least 2 hours before hand,
that allows you to get a creamier, smoother "milk".
