Creamy Strawberry Cashew Yogurt
A thick, tangy cashew yogurt blended with sweet strawberries and a hint of vanilla. Fermented overnight for gut-healthy goodness, it is perfect for make-ahead breakfasts or creamy snacks.
Instructions
Step 1: Quick-soak the cashews
Place cashews in a heatproof bowl and cover with freshly boiled water. Let soak for 1 hour, then drain and rinse well.
Step 2: Blend the base
Add the soaked cashews to a blender with the lemon juice, sea salt and the 1 cup of water. Blend on high until completely smooth and silky.
Step 3: Inoculate with probiotics
Transfer the cashew mixture to a clean glass bowl. Open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the contents over the mixture. Stir gently with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon (avoid metal).
Step 4: Ferment the yogurt
Cover the bowl with cheesecloth or a clean tea towel secured with a rubber band. Set in a cool, dark spot for at least 12 hours (and up to 24 hours), until slightly tangy and thick.
Step 5: Blend in strawberries
Scoop the cultured cashew yogurt back into the blender. Add the strawberries, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Chill and serve
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Spoon into jars, cover and refrigerate until cold. Serve with fruit, granola or nuts.
