vanilla to taste
400 ml water (enough to make a smooth paste) or 3 cups orange juice in place of the water

Cover cashew nuts with water and soak for at least 15 minutes.
Drain cashews and blend all ingredients together until desired texture is achieved.
Cashew nut cream is a delicious topping for fruit salad, or as a dipping sauce for fresh fruit pieces served as a healthy snack or dessert.
