Chipotle Cashew Cream
Not gonna lie, this one is hard to control yourself with! The depth and flavor are so amazing and the creamy smooth taste will make you forget it is dairy free. We like to have a batch ready for burritos, tacos, dip, potatoes, etc. If you are unable to eat dairy or try to avoid for various reasons, this cream will give those meals when you are really missing cheese, new hope! I promise!
¾ cup raw cashews (soaked in water for 4 hours or in boiling water for 5 minutes)
½ cup water (slowly add to desired consistency)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1-2 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
2-3 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce)
(If you are out of this sauce or can't find, use a dash of cayenne pepper and about 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika)
1 pinch or smoked paprika
Drain cashews and add ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth.
SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!
