Ingredients
Sweet Crema:
- 1 cup Almonds (or cashews)
- ½ cup Almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. Lemon juice, fresh
- ¼ cup Agave syrup
- 1/3-1/2 cup Water
- 1 lb. Strawberries hulled and cut into quarters
Instructions
- To make the almond crema pour boiling water over almonds and let them soak overnight. The next day peel the almonds. Place an almond between your thumb and your forefinger and press slightly. The skin should slip right off.
- Place almond in a blender with almond milk, vanilla, lemon juice, agave, and 1/3 cup of water.
- Process until smooth on high. This is going to take 3-4 minutes. If necessary add the remaining amount of water until you reach the desired consistency. About the same as a thick heavy cream.
- Strain the almond mixture with a fine-mesh strainer. Place in the fridge for at least thirty minutes.
- Serve over cut strawberries.
Notes
• Make sure to soak your almonds overnight. For a smoother sauce you can soak them for 2 days, just make sure to change the water.
• You can use cashews instead of almonds for this recipe. If you do, make sure you add the liquid gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
