Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 16 ounces roasted unsalted cashews
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Spatula
  • Storage container

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by measuring out 16 ounces of roasted unsalted cashews. If you prefer a salted version, have your salt ready to add.
  2. Place the roasted cashews into the bowl of your food processor. Make sure not to overload it; if necessary, you can work in batches.
  3. Turn on the food processor and blend the cashews. At first, they will crumble and form a powder. Keep blending for about 5 to 10 minutes. You’ll notice the texture changing as the oils are released, eventually becoming smooth and creamy.
  4. About halfway through blending, stop the processor and use your spatula to scrape down the sides. This will help ensure everything is blended evenly.
  5. Once your cashew butter has reached a creamy consistency, taste it. If you’d like to enhance the flavor, add a pinch of salt and blend for another minute.
  6. Once you’re satisfied with the taste and texture, transfer your homemade cashew butter into a glass jar or airtight container.
  7. Your cashew butter is now ready to be enjoyed! Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or use it as a dip for apple slices.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • Give the cashew butter a good stir if it separates after storage.
