Cashew Butter
I may have gone a little nut butter crazy.
Not only did I find the White Chocolate Wonderful by Peanut Butter & Co., I decided I needed to make some cashew butter. I had never attempted to make my own nut butter before today, and now I fear I may never stop. It’s so easy and so, so tasty!
Cashew Butter
Need:
a whole lot of cashews
a food processor
Do:
- Dump the cashews into the food processor.
- Process until the butter begins to look creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Resist the urge to eat the entire batch with a spoon.
I can’t wait to start experimenting with some other flavors/varieties. I’m thinking Maple Pecan butter and perhaps a spicy peanut butter, a la The Heat is On? I sense a trip to Costco in the near future for truckloads of nuts.
Also, for those inquiring minds, this is how they make White Chocolate Peanut Butter vegan:
Nut butter coma, commence now.
It seriously doesn’t need a little bit of oil added in the food processor to make it creamier?
Nope! I found mine didn’t need any additional oil. The natural oil of the cashews really comes out when you blend them up.
I guess this year isn’t going to be a diet one !!! I can’t resist your recipe !! what a wonderful, oustanding, stunning idea !!!
