chocolate creme made with cashews

This is a less sweet, revised version (I like dark chocolate) from https://detoxinista.com/chocolate-pots-de-creme-vegan-paleo/

Makes about two 6-7 oz servings (I put it in 2 vegemite jars)

Soak overnight, then drain & pat dry right before using
  • 1/2 cup cashews
Our house is kind of cold in winter so I melt the coconut oil and preheat the liquids in hot tap water. Also I have better luck adding the liquid first to the preheated Ninja blender cup.

Add to blender cup
  • 1/2 cup cashew milk (probably any nut milk would work)
  • 4 T. melted coconut oil
  • 2 T. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp tumeric (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch seasalt
  • 1/2 cup soaked, drained, and patted dry cashew nuts.
Blend till smooth, scrape down sides as needed. Then pour into jars and let sit overnight in fridge.
