- Place cashews and all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend on high until smooth
- **you may need to stop the blender and push the ingredients down with a spatula several times to properly blend. Add a touch of extra water if necessary to blend ingredients into a smooth consistency
- Once your crema is smooth and creamy, serve and enjoy!
- Serve with chips or on top of tacos, enchilada, or burritos
