Cashew Parfait
Ingredients
- Makes 2 little pots. 75 ml cashews (40 g) 3-4 small dates (35-50 g) depending on how sweet you like it. 100-200 ml frozen raspberries. You can use any other berry
- frozen or fresh. Frozen is best for this recipe. If you use a tart berry like redcurrant you may want to add some extra dates. Pinch of vanilla powder (ground up whole vanilla pod) or a few drops of natural
- liquid vanilla 50-75 ml water to blend
Preparation
Take your raspberries out of the freezer and leave to thaw in a cup
Soak cashews and dates together in hot water for a minimum of 10 minutes (if you want to eat it fast!), or in cold water for at least 2 hours
Drain the cashews / dates and blend them with vanilla and fresh water
If the cashews are still warm from soaking you can cool them under some running water - or have a warm parfait! Blend of high for at least one minute
If it’s looking too thick/dry, add a little more water
The mixture will change to light coloured, thick and fluffy – keep blending until it looks this way
Turn the blender off and dump the raspberries on top of the fluff
Pulse ONCE :) And your beautiful and delicious snack is ready
