Cashew Butter
Cashew butter is a creamy, spreadable nut butter made from roasted cashews, sunflower oil and sea salt. The Thermomix grinds and mixes the nuts into a silky spread in minutes. Rich, nutty and lightly salted, it is ideal on toast, in smoothies or as a base for sauces and dressings.
About this recipe
Cashew butter Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate homemade nut spread: just three ingredients and one powerful all-in-one kitchen machine stand between you and a jar of silky, golden goodness. Roasted cashews, a drizzle of sunflower oil and a pinch of sea salt transform into a velvety butter that far surpasses anything store-bought. This recipe is the perfect snack base for quick breakfasts, spread on toast or stirred into morning porridge. What makes cashew butter ideal for the Thermomix TM7 is the machine's ability to grind the nuts evenly and then blend them continuously at high speed, releasing their natural oils until the mixture turns wonderfully creamy without clumps. Whether you are looking for cashew butter recipes for a vegan diet, a protein-rich topping for bananas, or a base for salad dressings and satay sauces, this Thermomix TM7 recipe delivers consistent, professional results every single time.
Preparation tips
- Roast the cashews in the oven until lightly golden before blending, as toasting deepens their naturally sweet, buttery flavour and helps the nuts release their oils for a smoother spread.
- Add the sunflower oil gradually through the lid opening while the blades run, so the cashew butter reaches a pourable, silky consistency instead of staying thick and crumbly.
- Store the finished cashew butter in a clean, airtight jar in the fridge and stir well before use; it also makes a lovely homemade gift when decanted into small jars with a label.
Recipe variations
- For a festive variation, add a pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup to the cashew butter after blending, creating a warming, sweet spread that is delicious on pancakes or stirred into yoghurt.
- For a savoury version, blend the roasted cashews with a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a little extra sea salt, giving a smoky butter that melts beautifully into sauces, marinades and stir-fries.
