If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for here, you can ask it in the comments below, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible! So why is this the best way to make a dairy-free cream sauce?
Consistency: Cashew cream thickens when you cook it, making it smooth, rich, and velvety, just like regular cream. You want the right mouthfeel here, no watery substitutes allowed – we go with cashews for their superior creaminess. Nutrition: Rather than filling up on heavy dairy, cashews are packed with nutrients. They contain healthy fats, protein, vitamins and minerals, like magnesium and copper. So you’re not just enjoying a “creamy” dish – you’re nourishing your body, too! Ease: It’s really simple to make – just blend cashews, or mix cashew butter and water. Both methods take mere minutes. Taste: Cashews have a mild flavor, so it’s the perfect host for all that garlicky goodness. It doesn’t overpower the other flavors, making for ideal flavor with fewer calories than heavy cream.
Other veggie dishes that go great with this dairy-free creamy chicken include these crispy roasted potatoes, spicy honey roasted carrots, or roasted asparagus.
