Today I am sharing with you a recipe for an alternative to cow's milk cream cheese. It is a vegan cream cheese spread made from cashews and almonds. It is very creamy and the flavour is also very mild. There are many ways to use this cashew cream cheese. I like to spread it on bread or canap\u00e9s. You can also use it to make a thicker, creamier sauce.

How to soften cashews?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cashews are a popular ingredient in vegan cooking. In fact, they are perfect for creating plant-based alternatives to many cheeses. In most cases as well as in this recipe it is necessary to soften the cashews. What is meant by \"soften\"? It means altering their texture to make them softer and therefore easier to blend. There are two methods to get soft cashews; I have tested both for you. The first one I will explain is quicker, the second one takes longer. I have to be honest and I didn't notice a difference in the result, so feel free to choose the method you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Boil the cashews<\/strong>
    If you are short on time, you can soften your cashews by boiling them in a pot with water for about 10 minutes. They will be ready when you notice a small, pointed \"pistil\" sticking out of each cashew.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Let the cashews soak overnight<\/strong>
    If you have more time, however, you can let your cashews soak overnight or at least for 8 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
