Nut Milk - Easy Whipped Cream - Frosting

1 cup cashews, soaked for at least an hour

Vanilla (optional)

4-6 dates soaked for at least an hour, save the date soak water

Blend cashews with just enough of the date soak water so that blender will work. When smooth add dates one at a time til sweet enough, adding liquid as necessary, Add vanilla. Consistency of whipped cream.

If you have a very powerful blender (the K-Tec HP3 or the Vita Mix) you can make this recipe without soaking, just use water to blend the cashews. It comes out very thick and rich and can be used as frosting.

1-4 servings
