Instructions:

• Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by measuring out 16 ounces of roasted unsalted cashews. If you prefer a salted version, have your salt handy.
• Step 2: Blend the Cashews - Place the cashews into your food processor. Secure the lid and start blending on high speed. Initially, the cashews will break down into a powdery consistency.
• Step 3: Keep Blending - Continue to blend the cashews. Scrape down the sides of the processor with your spatula every minute or so. This process can take about 5-10 minutes. Be patient! As you blend, the oils from the cashews will release, creating that creamy texture.
• Step 4: Add Salt (Optional) - Once your cashew butter reaches your desired consistency, taste it. If you’d like to add a pinch of salt, do so now and blend again to incorporate.
• Step 5: Transfer and Store - Once smooth and creamy, transfer your cashew butter into a clean airtight container. It’s ready to be enjoyed!
