Servings 20
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews
- 1 ½ cups raw pecans
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste, (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Spread the cashews and pecans out on a small baking sheet in one even layer.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly toasted and fragrant.
- Allow them to cool slightly before adding them to your high-powered blender.
- Blend for 5-6 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides every 2 minutes or so.
- First you will get what looks like a nut flour. Then it will resemble the texture of wet sand. Then you will start to see it become creamy, as the natural oils in the nuts are released.
- This is the stage when you’ll want to add in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla bean paste (or extract) and salt.
- Blending times will vary, depending on the blender that you are using. If you don’t have a high-powered blender and good quality food processor will also work. Be patient with this process, it takes a good several minutes to get to the creamy stage, but I promise it will be worth it.
- If your's isn't as creamy and spreadable as you'd like it, add in a little avocado oil. Start with ½-1 teaspoon, blend and see how you like the texture. In this batch, it was so creamy because the nuts were still warm, I didn't have to add any to it.Store in the fridge in an airtight container for about a month.
