Berry Cashew Pudding
October 7th, 2009 by Leora
Strawberry Cashew Pudding
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries or blueberries (or try some other berries or fruit)
- 1 cup raw cashews or macadamia nuts
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup or honey (or to taste)
Soak the nuts for about 4 hours and drain. Blend all ingredients using food processor or blender until creamy and smooth. Serve immediately or chill. The original recipe suggests adding a little water, soymilk, or almond milk to facilitate blending if needed (I didn’t do this).
I’ve made this twice with blueberries (original recipe called for blueberries) and once last week with strawberries, as pictured.

That is macrobiotic…It looks really tasty Leora..
This sounds delicious.
Leora..I didn’t realize that your son’s bar-mitzvah is coming up. No wonder you are so busy with that and everything that goes on in your already busy life. Try not to get too stressed out with the preparations. These huge life events may us realize how fast our children grow up. Sometimes I look at my daughter and see the little girl and the grown woman all at the same time. Stay well..hope your internet stays up as that is so annoying… Michelle
This looks healthy and yummy; great combination!
I like every pixel and every calorie of it. I’ll try it on my next shopping!
Leora, please do send some blueberries our way. Not that we don’t have, just it’s a big splurge.
I agree with Michelle, still shocks me to see my “bar mitzvah” boy so grown up now – where did the years go to?
also Michelle were you asking or commenting that the dish is macrobiotic? To make it more traditional mb (macrobiotic) I would dry roast the nuts in a frying pan, probably more likely to use almonds or walnuts (I like almonds better) and would just briefly put the fruit into boiling water, maybe one minute – if summertime, maybe not(do you get berries all year long?). Lastly, I would prefer using rice syrup – but please know it took me a long time to get used to using sweeteners that cost more – even knowing they were healthier for me. To be super fancy, you can put this pudding over some delicious cookies or crumb cake or put granola on top.
I tried making a sweet noodle kugel for yom tov – it didn’t work – I was told to use oats as the agent to hold it together. Usually I’d use tofu. It’s ok, I got sweet noodles and fruits and nuts – reminds me of the Hungarian dish my mother used to make – noodles with ground nuts and sugar.
Such a delicious looking combo of berries and nuts. I like what soaking nuts does to them. Thanks for sharing.
