Ingredients
  

  • 3 teaspoons coconut oil – adds smoothness and a subtle tropical flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – enhances and balances the natural sweetness
  • 2 cups raw cashews – the creamy nutty base

Method
 

  1. Place the raw cashews and salt into a food processor. Blend continuously for 5 to 7 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and ensure an even texture. The mixture will first turn into a coarse meal, then clump into a paste, and finally transform into a smooth, creamy butter.
  2. Once the cashews have broken down into a near-silky consistency, pour in the coconut oil and continue processing for an additional 30 seconds. This step gives the nut butter a luscious finish and easier spreadability.
  3. Transfer the finished cashew butter to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will thicken slightly as it chills and stay fresh for several weeks.
