This roasted cashew butter recipe is super simple and fast to make. All you need is a food processor or high-speed blender and a couple of minutes. Cashew butter’s texture is similar to peanut butter; however, it’s a bit lighter and not as overpowering as peanut butter – at least the peanut butter you can buy at the market.

With the advent of veganism and vegetarianism over the past decade, it’s easy to assume cashew butter and cheeses were born of those particular diets. However, vegan cheeses (using cashew butter) and cashew butter have been around for at least a century (possibly more). As my mother says, “What’s old is new!” How right she is!

Hello, I'm Denise.

I love to eat, garden, travel, and do yin yoga! I make plant-based recipes and photograph them from my 1920’s, remodeled apartment in Rhode Island. I've always loved fresh basil. Put some fresh basil leaves on a piece of cardboard, drizzle on a little olive oil and sea salt, and I'd be tempted to eat it! ❤️

How to Make Cashew Butter

Be prepared to be amazed!

    • Roast the cashews – Roasting the cashews coaxes out the nutty flavor
    • Add to food processor – Add the roasted cashews to the food processor and process on medium until smooth. This will take about eight minutes, scraping down the sides frequently.
    • Keep blending – Your cashew butter might get a little clumpy at first, but that means it’s about ready to turn and become creamy. Keep the faith!
