How To Make Sriracha Cashew Cream Sauce

Start by soaking your cashews, covered in hot water, for 5 minutes. Alternately, you can soak them in cool water for 2 – 3 hours.

This recipe is great for small personal blenders, like the Nutri Bullet (affiliate link), but will work ok in a regular blender too. Using the blender of choice, add the drained cashews, garlic, sriracha, nutritional yeast and water, and blend until nice and creamy.

Recipe Tip!

Make the sauce as spicy as you like or keep it on the mellow side with the amount of ingredients I have listed below. I found that two teaspoons of sriracha was just the right starting point to taste the flavors while adding a nice subtle punch to your meals, on a scale from 1 – 10, the 2 teaspoons of chili sauce ranks in at about a 3, somewhat mild. I made it a second time doubling the amount of sriracha and it kicked it up to 5-6.

This is one of my favorite cashew sauces so far, as it is so versatile and so good!

Total Time: 10

Yield: Yields 2/3 cup , serves 3 1 x

Category: Condiment

1/2 cup water , + more as needed for thinning

juice of 1/2 lemon , optional

, optional 1 large garlic clove

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

2 teaspoons sriracha chili sauce, + more to taste Instructions Place all ingredients into a small blender (I used a magic bullet for this job). Blend until creamy, taste for flavor adding extra chili sauce if needed. Thin with water to desired consistency using one tablespoon at a time. If you find it’s too watery add a few cashews and blend again until smooth. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Makes about 2/3 cups. NOTES: Quick soak your cashews: To soak your cashew fast, simply place them in hot water for 5 minutes, drain and use accordingly. I also didn’t add in any salt but feel free to add salt to taste. Lastly, I usually use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in my cashew creams but didn’t add any in this recipe, I didn’t feel it needed either. You may try adding 1 tablespoon if you have it on hand for another layer of flavor. Serve however you like! I hope you find many uses for this sauce. I have many in mind and will be sharing within the recipes as they come up. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: I love my NutriBullet (affiliate links).

Edit: I’ve updated the ingredients, making it double of what it originally was so it can be made in a larger blender or food processor. Plus you may have a little extra leftover for another use!
