Instructions
- Start by measuring out 16 ounces of roasted unsalted cashews. If you prefer a salted version, have your salt ready to add.
- Place the roasted cashews into the bowl of your food processor. Make sure not to overload it; if necessary, you can work in batches.
- 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.
- About halfway through blending, stop the processor and use your spatula to scrape down the sides. This will help ensure everything is blended evenly.
- 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.
- Once you’re satisfied with the taste and texture, transfer your homemade cashew butter into a glass jar or airtight container.
- 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.
