Vegan cashew brandy butter
Perfect alongside our vegan Christmas pudding, or as a side to any festive dessert. This also works well as a savoury cream to add to soups or other dishes; just leave out the maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 150g raw unsalted cashew nuts
- 2 tbsp brandy
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Method

Step 1
Put the cashew nuts in a bowl and cover them with plenty of cold water. Leave them in the fridge overnight.

Step 2
The next day, drain the water away from the cashews. Place them in a blender with the brandy, maple syrup, and 80ml of fresh cold water. Blend until thick and creamy. Take the lid off and try a dab; if it’s still a little gritty, blend for longer. You can add a dash more water to make the consistency more cream-like if you prefer.
