what you need:
step one
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread your cashews out on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until cashews are lightly roasted. Watch carefully to ensure they don’t burn. Remove cashews from oven and let cool slightly until they can be handled.
step two
Add your cashews to your food processor or high speed blender and process until broken down into small bits. This usually takes under 1 minute.
step three
Add in your remaining ingredients and process until everything comes together. Your cashew butter will likely form into a ball at which point you’ll break down the ball and continue processing. Repeat this process about 10 times until creamy consistency is reached.
step four
Cashew butter rarely gets drippy but the more you process it the creamier it will get. Feel free to stop whenever it’s reached your consistency preference.
