Chef Notes

 

 

  1. Quick Soak method: In a 3 qt. pot boil the Raw Cashews in water for 15 minutes

  2. Long soaking method: Soak Raw Cashews in water to fill for 4-8 hours (If overnight soaking, rinse water every 8 hours to prevent bacteria growth)

  3. Molding Options: Small spring Form, Tupperware or bowl

  4. Replacing Cashews, We understand that some people may be sensitive to the use of cashews so here are 2 substitutions

  5. Blanched Almonds can replace soaked cashews 1 C. of Raw Soaked cashews for 1 C. of Blanched Almonds

  6. Raw Rolled Oats can replace Raw Soaked Cashews: 1 C. of Raw Soaked cashews for 1/2 C. of Raw Oats

  7. Agar Agar:  6 Tbsp Agar Agar flakes = 3 Tbsp of Agar Agar powder = 1/3 cup of Agar Agar strips
