Recipe for Cashew Pieces

Creamy Vegan Cashew Alfredo Sauce

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins (plus soaking)
Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw cashew pieces (soaked in hot water for 15–30 mins, or overnight)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)

• 2–3 garlic cloves

• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions:

1. Soak Cashews: Cover cashew pieces in hot water for 15–30 mins (or overnight in cold water). Drain.

2. Blend: Combine soaked cashews, almond milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a blender. Blend until ultra-smooth (2–3 mins).

3. Adjust: For a thinner sauce, add more liquid. For warmth, heat gently in a pan (don’t boil hard).

4. Serve: Toss with 12 oz cooked pasta (like fettuccine), or use as a pizza base or veggie dip.

Serving Ideas:

• Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes.

• Top with crushed red pepper or fresh parsley.

Other Top Cashew Piece Recipes:

1. Cashew Butter (Like peanut butter—blend roasted pieces + salt + oil until creamy).

2. Thai Cashew Chicken (or Tofu) – Stir-fry with soy sauce, honey, and veggies.

3. Cashew Energy Balls (Dates + cashews + cocoa, rolled in coconut).

Perfect for Curries & Stir-Fries

Add cashew pieces to curries, stir-fries, noodle dishes and rice meals for extra richness and crunch.

For deeper flavour, lightly toast them in a dry pan before adding them to your dish.

Ideal for Baking

Cashew pieces are ready to use in cookies, muffins, banana bread, slices, cakes and biscotti.

Because they are already broken into useful-sized pieces, there is often no need for extra chopping.

Great for Granola, Salads & Trail Mix

Sprinkle cashew pieces over salads, grain bowls, yoghurt and breakfast bowls, or combine them with dried fruit, seeds and other nuts for homemade granola or trail mix.

Perfect for Cashew Cream & Sauces

Soak and blend cashew pieces to make cashew cream, creamy pasta sauces, dips, nut milk and plant-based desserts.

Their smaller size makes them particularly convenient for soaking and blending into smooth recipes.

A Great-Value Alternative to Whole Cashews

If your recipe does not require perfectly whole cashews, large pieces offer an excellent option for cooking and baking while still delivering the characteristic creamy cashew flavour.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Because cashews contain natural oils, refrigeration or freezing can help maintain freshness for longer
