Warning! I made the horrible mistake of wasting $15 on a jar of Nutiva "buttery" coconut oil! The most disgusting stuff, doesn't taste anything like butter at all! So pissed. I have to throw it in the garbage for fear of anyone in my family using it for our food. Tastes like a perfumed hand lotion rather than a buttery oil. Definitely stick to regular unflavored refined coconut oil. And no, it's not rancid or old, it's brand new with a long exp date, it didn't have any type of rancid taste, it was the dreadful annatto extract and whatever ingredient they're hiding calling it "organic vegan butter flavor". It also gave me upset stomach after trying some on a piece of toast! I'm vegan but on a very tight budget, so this is extremely disappointing. Maybe people forget what butter tastes like after being vegan, but this is NOT it! The plain cashews taste like butter on their own. I could have bought 2 bars of the real thing with that amount of money. Luckily I made a small test batch and it ruined my cashew butter, so it doesn't get fixed by the cashews either.
I’ve never tried Miyokos cultured vegan butter. Too expensive, so I’ve been using Earth Balance Organic Vegan Butter. I tried this recipe. Followed the directions, with the exception of adding a teaspoon of nutritional yeast. It is very good👍🏽🙌🏽. I don’t have a Vitamix blender. Used an immersion blender instead and it produced a creamy, well blended “butter”. I also did the “quick soak” method by pouring boiling water over the cashews and letting it soak for an hour. That worked well, too, to soften the cashews rather than the overnight method.
I want to thank you for another excellent recipe. I STOPPED buying vegan butter altogether and only use this recipe. I have gotten creative and took half the mixture and mixed in garlic and herbes. This tastes identical to Miyako's but a lot cheaper. It freezes well too! I have one question where did you get your mould? I used a larger cube silicone tray but I would prefer the sticks. Also is your mould the size equivalent to a stick? Thanks again.
@@sussirodriguez1705 Yes but they all seem to be for hemp butter. Is yours close to a regular butter mould? Is one stick closest to a regular stick of butter?
Since I’m allergic to “moldy” nuts (cashews, peanuts, etc), I’ve used almonds instead, per Mimi Kirk’s recipe (for cultured almond “cheese”). I bet almonds will be just as good 😋❓❓
I have another recipe for vegan butter (without cashews). I would like to post a video for that recipe first, and then do a taste test for both in one video ;)
I have recently discovered Miyokos Vegan Butter, I am so happy and impressed with you and your videos. Thank you for this recipe! As I am sharing with the Sister at a Monastery and it gets expensive! How perfect to find you AGAIN! What about a book?
You can use either or. These cashews were labeled raw, but I doubt they were truly raw. If I want truly raw cashews, I get them here: nutritionrefined.com/really-raw-cashews (affiliate link).
