Warning: this yummy treat can be addictive and cause a serious feeling of satisfaction!
Dream Cream is made of cashews and other good-for-you nutriceuticals. Who would have thought that we can have this creaminess dairy- free?
It can be used in cakes, enjoyed as a dessert or turned into a super-duper nice cream, or as a filling for our New Earth medicinal chocolate creations.
Let your Imagination go wild.
It is one of the best thing we can do with cashews really... together with a Plant Mayo (recipe is coming soon)
We need:
1 cup of soaked Cashews
2/3 cups of coconut milk
1 Vanilla stick (or 1/4 t of vanilla seeds). I like Madagascar Vanilla
2 T Maple syrup or Coconut nectar
1 T Lucuma Powder (super food - Peruvian Gold, good for us. if you research it, you will be as hooked as I am.
Raw (Unrefined) Cacao Powder for dusting and for the lower layer (if you make dessert like the one on the picture)
This is how we do it:
Soak cashews for a few hours, not more than 7.
Let them dry on a clean towel for a few minutes. Place cashews together with the rest of the ingredients in the blender.
Give it a nice spin. It blends very easily, turning into a yummy creamy mass that tastes like tiramisu cream (Thanks to Lucuma and maple).
If you are making a dessert like the one on the picture, make the bottom layer by mixing your new earth liquid sweetener with raw cacao powder.
For example, a table spoon of Maple syrup with a tea spoon of cacao powder.
Pour the chocolate cream into the serving glass to create the bottom layer. Shake gently, allowing it to settle.
Pour the Dream Cream almost to the top of the glass.
Sprinkle with cacao powder. Done.
Please taste the cream before you let it leave the blender to make sure it tastes just the way you dream it to.
Food Artist Tip: If you want to give your creation a color, you can use matcha tea powder for that soft green color, or our legendary beetroot juice (or powder) for that seductive pink.
ENJOY.
P.S. Please remember to consume nuts in moderation.
People who are magnesium sensitive and have nut allergies should avoid cashews.
