Blender Method: Add the soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper to a high speed blender. Blend until fairly smooth. The mixture will still be thick though. A narrow blender canister is ideal for this as it's a smaller amount. If you have the wide 64 oz Vitamix canister, you might have to double the recipe to get the mixture to hit the blades. Think happy thoughts as you are scraping out the bottom of the blender to get the mixture out.

Food Processor Method: Add the soaked cashews, garlic, salt & pepper, but not the lemon juice to the food processor. Pulse until the cashews and garlic break down. Now add in the lemon juice and run until smooth. While processing, you will need to turn it off a couple times to scrape down the sides. It's much easier to get the mixture out of a food processor vs the blender.

Serve paired with crackers. I like Mary's Gone Crackers with this cheese. Enjoy!
