Elaine's Whipped “Cream” Substitute
Soak 1 ½ cups of RAW nuts in about 2 cups of water for at least 4 hours. (I prefer walnuts or cashews.)
Drain off throw away the soaking water.
Place nuts in a blender with ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice and
2 tablespoons maple syrup OR pure stevia to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)
Other optional ingredients:
A few drops of almond extract
A bit of water if too thick
Blend on liquefy until fluffy and smooth scraping down sides of blender as needed.
Use ASAP. (perhaps as a great alternative to whipped cream on this years pumpkin pie)
