Cashew “cream” aka raw soaked cashews (a few hours or overnight, drain, then blend til creamy smooth and fluffy with a splash of water). This basic cashew cream is used for anything from nondairy sour cream (add salt and lemon) to nondairy salad dressing to my favorite which is adding into soup to make creamy. Great in smoothies too.
Making cashew based ice cream at home won’t be easy though unless you have a vitamix or a fine sieve and a lot of patience, even some commercial brands can be grainy. The brand So Delicious makes a great very creamy cashew based ice cream, the chocolate one is amazing. Look for it on sale, widely available but will be extra expensive at whole foods.
Cashew based soft cheeses are easy to make at home, this is a basic recipe that you can flavor any way that’s appealing
