Notes

Special equipment: a high-powered blender, cheesecloth.

Step 1

Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with 4 cups water. Cover with plastic and soak 8 hours or up to overnight.

Step 2

Drain the cashews and place in a high-powered blender with the lemon juice, coconut oil, salt, white pepper and ½ cup cashew milk. Blend the mixture, stirring as necessary. Add the remaining ¼ cup cashew milk and blend until smooth. Stir in the parsley.

Step 3

Fold the cheesecloth in half and line 2 small bowls with a piece of doubled cheesecloth, leaving enough overhang to cover the cashew mixture.

Step 4

Divide the cashew mixture between the two bowls and cover completely with the cheesecloth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 8 hours or up to overnight. Serve cold.
