Ingredients
Base Recipe
- ½ cup cashews

- 3 Tablespoons organic maple syrup
Add-ins:
- ¼ teaspoon (+/-) vanilla (or other flavor extracts, example: almond, orange, etc)
Optional Add-in:
- 1/8 teaspoon (+/-) cinnamon (or other spices/herbs, example: pumpkin pie, zest, etc)
Instructions
- Quick soak the cashews by placing them in a small bowl and covering them with boiling water. Soak for 20 minutes, then discard the water (or fast method, place raw cashews in a small pan, cover with water and boil for 10 minutes, then briefly rinse with cold water to cool them down).
- Placed the soaked cashews and all the remaining ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for one minute or until very smooth and creamy.
- Test flavor and consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more plant milk and blend again.
- Drizzle over your favorite cake, muffins, pancakes, or desserts.
