You only need 5 ingredients to make this homemade Cashew Coffee Creamer and there's no straining required! It's the perfect sweet and creamy addition to your morning cup of coffee.
Start by pouring boiling water into a small bowl with raw cashews. Let them soak for 1-2 hours. (Overnight works too!) I also suggest soaking the dates in boiling water for about 15 minutes to soften them up before blending.
Drain the soaked cashews and dates with a strainer.
Then add them to a high-speed blender with fresh filtered water, medjool dates, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend on high for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour into a mason jar or glass container with an airtight lid. Store in the refrigerator until you're ready to use!
Notes
Expert Tips
Cashew milk will separate in the refrigerator so give it a good shake before pouring.
Use an electric milk frother to create a light and fluffy consistency before adding to your coffee.
Use a high-speed blender to create a super creamy consistency. Because this is a very liquidy recipe, I don't recommend using a food processor.
Add more or less water depending on how thick and creamy you want the final product to be. The thinner it is, the more of a "milk" consistency it will have.
