Maple Coffee Creamer (Vegan, Gluten-Free and Soy-Free)

May 18, 2014 by theleafycauldron

I have a genuine love for coffee, as you may have noticed.  I’m a black coffee drinker, but every once and a while, there’s a week where I want to cream it up. I can’t have cream without sugar in my coffee and vice versa, so this is just a lil’ sweet to please my taste buds.

Why not make your own coffee creamer? It saves money and you can control the ingredients! This cream is so rich and it stirs into your coffee smoothly. I live in Quebec, so we put maple in everything! Feel free to sub agave nectar and adjust the sweetness level to where you’d like it.

1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 4 hours (I went for 48 but that’s because I forgot)
1 1/2 cups water
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Drain soaked cashews and rinse. Combine all ingredients in a blender and let it whirl until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness to your personal preference, though I thought this was absolutely perfect.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
