Hi Olivia,
I tried this recipe, because I thought it looked super yummy. Sadly the recipe did not work at all. The sauce was super liquid and not creamy at all. I do have a high quality stand mixer, that I used for the recipe, so I think the ingredients got well mixed up. Do you have any suggestions why the sauce was so runny? I would love to make the sauce again, because the taste was really good!
Daniel
I agree with Hannah. This recipe made a super runny liquid. I’ll try to make it with twice this much of cashews or half the milk. The taste is very nice though x
Lexi
I made this recipe with my partner and we loved it! We did end up adding a bit of cornstarch and cooking it on the stove a little to thicken it up and warm it, but it was delicious! 🙂
Samantha
When I made it, mine was runny as well (adding cornstarch really did help!)
Afterwards, I rewatched the video, and it looks like the measurements might be reversed:
– 1 cup soaked cashews
– 0.5 cup plant milk
I’ll try that next time. Regardless, really great taste!
