Ingredients

3/4 cup water 1/4 cup raw cashew nuts 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 1

Wash the cashew nuts. Let them soak overnight or at least for 6-8 hours in lukewarm water. If not, use extremely hot water and soak for an hour.

Step 2

After the cashews have softened (post soaking), mix all the ingredients listed in a blender and puree on high until creamy and lumps-free.

Step 3

Heat a saucepan, keeping the flame low; pour the pureed cashew nut from the blender.

Step 4

As it warms up, start slowly heating it and stirring it together. Don't leave it unsupervised. Continue to stir almost continuously till it gets the desired thickness and elasticity.
