Ingredients
Step 1
- 3 med garlic minced or pressed
- 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil unrefined, extra virgin, cold pressed
Step 2
- 10 oz purified water; cold
Step 3
- 1/2 lb cashews; raw (= 4 3.5oz cashew cream bars)
- 1 cup purified water; cold

Instructions
- Sauté the garlic and coconut oil in a large pot on medium heat for 2 minutes and stir.
- Add the water from STEP 2 to the pot and again give a stir.
- Add all STEP 3 ingredients to a high powered blender (Vitamix or Blendtec recommended), blend until smooth and then add to the pot. Do not clean the blender yet, we’ll use again for step 4.
- Continue to cook the sauce on medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring often with a silicone spatula so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
