  • ½ cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked and dehydrated 1/4 lb
  • 1/4 cup unrefined sesame oil, almond or coconut oil (might need a bit more)
  • 1 – 2 pitted dates
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp sea salt / Himalayan Salt (to taste

  • Add cashews to Vitamix. Blend until almost a flour.
  • Add selected oil – 1 Tbs. at a time until the mixture turns into a butter.
  • Remove from Vitamix and store in pantry or fridge in a glass jar with lid such as a mason jar

Notes

  • Alternately, if you’d like a “crunchy” butter. Add the coconut oil to the cashews at the beginning. Blend until butter.
  • You can use a food processor to make cashew butter, however, it will take quite a bit longer.
  • The higher the speed of your blender, the quicker you will get the job done!
