Are the cashews roasted, raw, raw and soaked? Thank you!
Hi Moira, the cashews should be roasted
How many cups of nuts are in 600g ?
4 cups of nuts, Nancy.
Loved this cashew butter! too delicious for words. I soaked the cashews in water for a few hours before processing with the cinnamon, honey, coconut butter and salt.
How long will this keep ?
It will keep in the fridge up to 3-4 weeks. Mine is usually gone within that time so I can’t tell if it can keep longer.
Why keep refrigerated? No ingredient is cold critical.
Nuts could turn rancid pretty quickly, however if you eat it within a week I am sure it will be fine.
Looks delicious ^_^ But.. Can I use it to frost cakes and cupcakes?
Wow, great idea but unfortunately, it doesn’t quite have the texture of a frosting. It might have to be adapted for this to happen but that’s a reason for another recipe. ๐
If you soak raw cashews overnight they process beautifully – I’m gonna make this recipe tomorrow!
Really? Thank you for the tip, Julie! I also learned later that if cashews are roasted first they will release oils much better so will have to try both soaking and roasting and see what works better!
i definitely will be taking this idea to recreate in my kitchen.. love my almond butter and raw peanut paste – but ive never made cashew butter before. yum!
This looks awesome Vika! I’ve been on almond butter and hot tea kick lately! This looks awesome.
I love this butter – honey, cinnamon, and cashews are some of my favorite things!
I can only imagine how delicious this is! Must try it, as I love nut butters on warm toast. Mmmmm.
