The Best Cashew Cream Sauce

I've shared this one before as part of a recipe - and I'm getting ready to do it again tomorrow - but I realized that this one definitely stands on its own.

Here's my recipe for delicious cashew creaminess!


The Best Cashew Cream Sauce

Ingredients:
1 cup cashews
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch 

Preparation:
Soak the cashews overnight (or in warm water for at least 10 minutes). Drain the cashews, and place in a blender or food processor with the vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast and salt. Process until very smooth. Transfer the cream sauce into a small pan, whisk in the arrowroot or cornstarch, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (stirring often) or until the sauce begins to thicken.

  2. Let me know how turns out. We love it! But, it's my first cashew cream sauce, so I don't have much to compare it to. :)
