Cashew Butter

Cashews have always been one of my favorite nuts, so it was only a matter of time before I started making my own cashew butter. The first time I tried it, I was honestly surprised by how easy it is - you really just need a bit of patience and a good food processor. Now I make it regularly, because once you taste homemade cashew butter, there’s no going back!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cashews on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Don’t let them get too dark. Let cool slightly.
You’ll need a good food processor for this recipe. Processing the nuts takes some time, so be patient - it will come together.
Add the cashews to the bowl of the machine and pulse at first until you have coarse crumbs.
Then turn the machine on and let it run, stopping occasionally if needed to let it cool. The crumbs will turn into a thick paste (you may need to scrape it down occasionally), and if you keep processing, it will eventually become smooth cashew butter.
This takes about 15 minutes.
