Notes

Tip from my kitchen: just remember to soak the cashews overnight – and if you forget, simply cover them with boiling water and let them sit for 15–30 minutes. A good blender is key so no little bits remain and everything turns out lovely and creamy. The sour cream is my favorite for wraps, dips and salads, while I use the sweet cream as a frosting or in desserts. All three keep in a clean jar for about 3–5 days in the fridge.
