Recipes using cashew butter

There are 7 recipes that contain this ingredient.

Mushroom Cashew Bisque

This creamy and earthy rich mushroom soup gets it's earthiness from shitake mushrooms and rich creaminess from cashews instead of cream for a healthier result than a cream based bisque. It sacrifices the fat to deliver flavor.

White Chocolate-Coconut Truffles

White chocolate coconut truffles with shredded coconut, a splash of coconut liqueur, and a creamy white chocolate ganache center. Easy make-ahead holiday candy.

Vegetable Nut Burgers

Vegetable nut burgers with brown rice, wild rice, lentils, millet, and cashew butter, served with a fresh fennel-tomato-basil coulis. A hearty, vegan patty with serious substance.

Red Lentil Loaf

Vegan red lentil loaf with brown rice, oats, carrots, and sage, served with a creamy red pepper sauce. A hearty plant-based main dish with protein-rich lentils and whole grains.

Chocolate Ganache Fudge Sauce

I created my raw food Chocolate Ganache Fudge Sauce for all the chocoholics I know (including me!), but I never miss a chance to introduce people to my rich, nutty Caramel Sauce.

Carrot Burgers

Vegan carrot burgers bound with tahini and peanut butter, seasoned with tamari and herbs. Baked golden on both sides for a hearty plant-based patty with real substance.

Basic Peanut Sauce

Basic peanut-style dipping sauce (no actual peanuts) with cashew butter, tahini, coconut milk, lime, miso, and ginger. A richer, Thai-leaning satay sauce for grilled skewers, coconut shrimp, or crudités.
