Butterschotch Cashew Cream

Maca is the secret ingredient for this baby. All the cashew creams are fairly simple and the same, just variations in the ingredients to change the flavors. Because of the neutral flavor and texture of cashew nuts, they make the perfect base for any raw frosting or cream. You can play around wit h variations and actually come up with some really great ones! The sky is the limit on this one baby!

You will need:

– 2 cups soaked cashews (at least 2 hours, preferably 4)

– 4 to 5 pitted dates

– about 2 tbsp maca powder

– dash of cinammon

– dash of nutmeg

Place all the ingredients in the blender, and pulse away! The mixture will be extremely thick and creamy (as you can see from the picture), so you will have to start and stop the blender several times to scrape the sides and get the mixture going again.

Use as a frosting on a beautiful raw cake, or eat on its own! This will store in the fridge for several days!
