Chocolate Cashew Milk
If you are new to making your own plant milk then this chocolate cashew milk is a great place to start! No filtering required as the cashews are lovely and soft and make the creamiest milk. The addition of cacao gives it a really rich chocolatey taste. Great for kids and adults alike!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew nuts (140g)
- 3½ cups water (875ml)
- 4 medjool dates pitted
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
Instructions
- Soak the cashews in boiling water for 25-30 minutes.
- Drain the cashews and add to a blender with the other ingredients. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer to sterilised bottles. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Shake the bottle before using.
Notes
- To ensure the milk stays as fresh as possible I’d recommend you sterilise your bottles. See the tips above on how to do this.
- If you would prefer plain cashew milk, omit the cacao powder and only use 1-2 dates, otherwise the recipe is the same.
- The milk may separate when you leave in the fridge for a while. This is perfectly ok – just give it a shake before using.
