Ingredients

  • 500 g of Cashews approx 2 ½ cups
  • ¼ coconut oil optional

Instructions

  • Pour the cashew nuts into the large container along with the coconut oil (if adding it) and secure the lid.
  • Switch on the machine and slowly increase the dial to variable 10 then to high.
  • Insert the tamper and push the cashews down onto the blades. At this stage the machine will start to make a loud noise whilst converting the whole cashew into butter.
  • If no coconut oil is added the entire process can take roughly 10-15 minutes so be patient and scrape down the sides of the blender frequently.

Notes

Store in a air tight container or freeze for longevity.
Feel free to add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil if experiencing difficulty with pureeing the nuts.
High speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec is recommended.
Food processor is optional although results and time may vary
