Equal parts raw cashews, water, and sunflower oil. In blender/food
processor make a thick cream with nuts and water, then add oil in a slow
stream. Sweeten (I prefer maple syrup) and add vanilla to taste. This
comes out heavier (obviously) than whipped cream, but has an incredibly
rich and creamy mouthfeel and tastes great on fruit or baked deserts (or
straight out of the blender). The recipe is from 'The American Vegetarian
Cookbook' by Marilyn Diamond, and while the cookbook isn't vegan, I would
recommend it to you, or anyone who is interested in veg cooking.
Enjoy !
