Soak cashews in very hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Or in room temperature water overnight.
Drain and rinse cashews. Then, add to blender.
Add remaining ingredients using only ¼ C of the water. Blend on high until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed.
Add additional water as needed to help facilitate blending.
Cover and refrigerate 30 - 45 minutes or until slightly thickened. If left in fridge too long (an hour +) it become hard. Set out on counter until soft enough to handle if needed.
*Without a Vita-Mix, you will probably not be able to get your mixture completely smooth, but really close.
