This vegan cashew cream has a lovely toffee flavour thanks to the squishy dates and drop of vanilla. The perfect topping for cookies and cakes, or great frozen to eat as a dessert with fruit (or more cookies).

This looks awesome
Thanks Emilia! I think it would work with lots of other flavours too… so many possibilities 🙂
Mmm this looks so good! All I need to do is buy some cashews and I’m all over this – sounds like it would make an excellent frozen dessert.
Thanks Sian! It’s so easy to make, I don’t think it even counts as baking 😉 Let me know how it works you!
