Whipped Cashew Cream Recipe

Indulge in this unbelievably creamy, dairy-free whipped topping! Inspired by Chef Tal's Conscious Cook, this recipe transforms simple raw cashews into a luscious, dreamy dessert topping or coffee creamer. The cashews themselves are flavor neutral, acting as a blank canvas for the sweet and subtly decadent flavors of agave and vanilla. Perfect for vegans and anyone looking for a healthier alternative to traditional whipped cream.

How to Make Whipped Cashew Cream

  1. Soak 1 cup raw cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight. Drain well.
  2. Add the soaked cashews, 2 tablespoons agave nectar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup water to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil through the hole in the blender lid.
  5. Blend until fully emulsified and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Pour the whipped cashew cream into a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to fully thicken.
  7. Stir gently before serving. Enjoy!
