Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup hot water
- ½ cup unsweetened oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper (chipotle powder)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Add the cashews and hot water to a glass dish and let soak for 30 minutes.
- Drain the cashews and add to a high-powered blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients. (I use my small smoothie cup blender).
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 4-5 days.
Notes
- Soak the cashews. This is essential for easy blending and to achieve a creamy texture.
- Blender. A high-powered blender or food processor works best to achieve a smooth consistency for the sauce.
- Spice level. Adjust the amount of chipotle powder and smoked paprika to suit your taste.
- Make it sweeter. Add a little more maple syrup.
- Double the recipe. This recipe makes about one cup, so feel free to double it to feed a crowd.
