This is a probiotic rich beautiful creamy cashew cream that can be adapted for savoury or sweet. Great savoury as a dip with veggie sticks, as a side for dipping meatballs or cooked veggies or on a salad as part of the dressing. Great sweet on fruit, drizzled over a cake or muffin or as part of a raw dessert. It’s so versatile and easy to make, you’ll be going back for more!
