How to make vegan whipped cream substitute/ cashew cream

You can substitute agave nectar, or maple syrup if it compliments the flavor of what you are using this recipe for.

Measure 1 cup sugar.

Add to 1 cup water and set to medium heat. Bring to a boil stirring sugar until it dissolves.

You have now made simple syrup. Store unused syrup in the refrigerator for future use.

Pour 2 tablespoons of syrup in separate dish and refrigerate.

Add 1 cup raw cashews in blender. Add 1/2 cup cold water and blend until smooth.

Add chilled simple syrup and vanilla. You now have a delicious, slightly nutty, healthier whipped topping alternative.
