Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Raw cashews
- 2 large Medjool dates (if using deglet or other smaller dates, use 3)
- 1 1/2 cups Boiling water
Special Equipment:
Blender (A high powered blender works best, but a standard blender will also work) (Nutri Ninja) (Vitamix)
Preparation Method:
Remove the pits from the dates and add the dates and cashews to a bowl large enough to hold the cashews and water. Pour the boiling water over the cashews and dates and let soak for 30 minutes.
Add the cashews, dates, and soaking liquid to a blender jar. Blend on high until very smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. The blending time will vary based on the power of your blender.
Pour the liquid into a small pot and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Let cool and place into a sealed container. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
