Intermediate

Total Time:

13 minutes

Size:

2.0 Litre Container

INGREDIENTS

720 ml (3 cups) water
140 g (1 cup) cashews
70 g (10 ) dates, pitted
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 40 seconds.

Chef's Notes

For even more creaminess, soak cashews for at least 4 hours. You may strain the nut milk through a fine mesh strainer to remove the sediment, if you like. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake before serving. Our frozen dessert recipes will work perfectly by swapping this out for the liquid component.
