Description

Ingredients

• 230g / 1½ cups raw cashew nuts (soaked for at least 1 hour in water)
• 300ml / 1¼ cup filtered water
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• ¼ tsp probiotic powder or contents of approx 2 probiotic capsules (I used Bio-Kult)
• Optional flavourings such as pureed fruit, lemon zest, cocoa powder etc.

Directions

• Drain and rinse the soaked cashew nuts and add them to a blender.
• Pour the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend on high for about 5 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and silky. No lumps should remain.
• Transfer the mixture into a bowl and cover with a clean towel, tea towel or muslin cloth.
• Keep in a warm place (I used the airing cupboard) for 24-28 hours, depending on how tangy you want it! It will be ready when the mixture looks foamy and is coming away from the sides of the bowls. It will also have a strong but pleasant tangy smell!
• When the yoghurt has fermented. Give it a good stir or mix again in a clean blender if needed. Transfer to a jar or container and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• If using added flavourings, stir in or blend with the yoghurt until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer safe container and spread it out evenly. Secure the lid and place it in the freezer for an hour.
• After an hour, take the mixture out of the freezer and give it a good stir to break up any icy bits that may have formed and make the mixture nice and creamy.
• Place back in the freezer and allow to freeze completely (for at least another hour or overnight.)
• To serve, take the container out of the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 minute so it softens slightly. Scoop and serve!
