VegWeb.com
Quick and easy fruit dip
Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews
1 lb. frozen mango chunks
water
2 tablespoons agave nectar or other sweetener
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
Preparation:
- Put cashews in Vita-Mix blender or food processor and pour in enough
water to cover the nuts.
- Blend.
- While blending add agave nectar, orange juice concentrate, vanilla,
salt, and cinnamon.
- Add frozen mango a few chunks at a time. Wait for it to be blended
and then add a few more. Continue adding mango until desired thickness
is achieved. It should look like a mousse. If the blades won't turn, add
a little more water. If the cashew cream isn't thick enough, add more
cashews and continue blending.
The amounts given in the recipe are all estimates. Use more or less of
whatever you want to get the taste and consistency that makes you smile and
say "yum".
This is great layered with slices of your favorite fruit and sprinkled
with raw wheat germ and coconut flakes.
