Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water 4-8 hours, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
  • 1 small overripe banana
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for serving
  • Pinch salt
  • cup whiskey or rum (optional)
  • Dairy-free whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place the cashews, water, coconut milk, banana, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt into a blender and blend until smooth (Note 1).

  2. Taste-test and make any adjustments as needed. Add the rum or whiskey if using, and pulse the machine again to combine.

  3. Optionally, top with vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Recipe Notes
  1. If your blender isn't high-powered (like a Vitamix or Blendtec), start by blending the cashews with ½ cup of water, until relatively smooth, then add the remaining ingredients and blend again.
  2. Nutrition information does not include whiskey, rum, or whipped cream.
