I heard about Cashews being used as a base for sauces, dips and dressings, there was just one thing though… I really didn't like Cashews, at all.

Cashew Cream Recipe

I wanted to make a good non-dairy base for dressings and sauces though. Maybe if I added a bunch of spices it would turn out?

I was pleasantly surprised as this made a superb base for so many things! The flavor was mild, and it’s so versatile. I now have made so many creations with this base, I can't believe I missed out for so long.

“Look no further if you need a plant based base for dips and sauces!”

Sarah’s Tips:

It’s completely normal for the mixture to seperate after storage, stir it a little bit and you will be good to go!

Depending on what you are using the Cashew Cream for, it has such a mild taste you can flavor it to match your dish. Italian seasoning for pasta or dressing. Chili Powder or Cumin for tacos or a burrito bowl. Dill and Garlic for a dip or Tzatziki substitute.


As with any recipe of mine, I encourage you to make it your own, experiment, adjust to your desired taste. Use this as a guide and develop a creation that YOU like best.
