Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Soak the Cashews

Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

2
Drain and Rinse

Drain the soaked cashews and rinse thoroughly under cold water.

3
Blend Cashews

Place drained cashews in a high-speed blender with fresh water. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

4
Transfer to Container

Pour the mixture into a clean glass container. Cover with a clean cloth or paper towel secured with a rubber band (to allow air flow while keeping out dust).

5
Ferment

Place the container in a warm spot (about 70-75°F) away from direct sunlight. Let ferment for 8-24 hours, depending on desired tanginess. The longer it ferments, the tangier it becomes.

6
Check for Fermentation

After 8 hours, taste the yogurt. It should have a slightly tangy flavor. If you prefer it tangier, continue fermenting, checking every few hours.

7
Add Flavorings

Once desired tanginess is reached, stir in maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.

8
Refrigerate

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.

9
Stir Before Serving

Stir the yogurt before serving as it may separate slightly during refrigeration.

10
Serve

Serve plain or with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, or a drizzle of honey.
