First, soak the cashews by placing the cashews in the water. Squeeze 1/2 the lemon into this. Bring this mixture to a boil. Then cover the pan and remove it from the heat and leave it covered for 30 minutes. Then, drain the water out of the pan and the now softened cashews are ready to be used.
Next, melt the coconut oil by placing the coconut oil in a microwave safe dish and placing it in the microwave and heating it for 10-20 seconds.
Add the soaked cashews, the coconut milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cardamom, and the seeds and yellow pulp from 1 passion fruit into a blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
Divide the mixture up between two glass bowls or mason jars. Cover the glass bowls/ mason jars and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
Serve with coconut whipped cream and more passion fruit pulp and seeds (sweetened to taste, if necessary)
Notes
*You will need a good blender to blend all the ingredients. I’ve used blenders that were not powerful and ended up with a slightly grainy mixture. It still tastes great, but it definitely has a texture to it.
