Sooooo another thing I was excited to make with my Ninja is Cashew Cheese. Made it on a whim and a prayer the other night and let me tell you, it was AHHHHHMAZING. In addition to tasting great I was suprised at how easy Cashew Cheese is to make!
Honestly you just throw the ingredients in the blender and just blend. Most of the ingredients are things I had in my kitchen already, I only had to purchase the cashews.
One great thing about this recipe is that it can go from a spread to a dip within seconds. All you have to do is just add more water/lemon juice if you would like it to be moreso like a dip.
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 cup cashews (either soak them in water for one hour or boil them in 3 cups of water for 3 minutes)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of salt (more to taste if you like)
2 turns fresh black pepper
1/4 cup water
LET GET COOKING!!
1. Place the boiled cashews in a food processor, along with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
2. Pulse your blender for about 1 minute to combine ingredients.
3. Add water and process until completely smooth, or whatever consistency you desire. Also if you want to experiment with additional spices like I did (red pepper flakes, paprika chilli powder, minced garlic) add it in now.
