Thank you for the Matcha latte recipe. I have a match tea almost everyday so this is a very different welcome addition. Thanks again!

Hi Lee – you’re welcome. Enjoy.

I tried using the same method on hazelnut to make the cream, however, it is not smooth. I have not tried cashew, will cashew have the same problem that is a lot of pulp ?

Hi Lydia – you can use any type of nut or seed to create nut/seed milk. Consistency does vary depending on the type used, for instance, cashews yield a smoother texture than some of the other nuts, like Brazil nuts, for example, yield a grainer consistency. Try pouring the nut/seed milk through a strainer to help remove any grainy pulp. Also the type of blender used can make a difference in the final outcome.

Hi, do you need to add any milk to make the cashew cream and must you roast the cashew nut.

Hi Lydia – in this case the cashew cream serves as the “milk”, and for this recipe I use un-roasted, raw cashew nuts. Try it and let me know what you think. All the recipes posted here are raw vegan recipes [if heated not over 118 degrees], dairy, wheat, and gluten free. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this recipe.

WOW. Ok, all i have is a magic bullet, so i was worried that i couldn’t make it.
However, i did it in half batches and mesh strained it till smooth. The leftover bits i blended with a bit of the smooth cream and got an amazing thick cream that i immediately slathered on a fresh tomato. I’m in heaven!!!

Thanks Ingrid! I’ll be trying your cherry soup tomorrow with almond cream as I can’t get hold of raw cashews for now. But I’ll definitely soak them.

Do u have to soak the cashews?

Hi Cherrybombpie – when I first made this recipe I didn’t soak the cashews just rinsed them well, but I’ve been soaking them since, the consistency seems just a bit creamier when I do soak them. Both ways work, so it’s up to you.
