Free Recipe · Dairy-Free Thermomix
Creamy, spreadable dairy-free butter made from pantry ingredients, soft and ready to spread straight from the fridge.
This dairy-free spreadable butter is made in the Thermomix in about 35 minutes, then chilled overnight, and the recipe makes 250ml.
Oh I am pleased with this recipe, and so was Ellen when I gave her the jar to try! Delicious creamy 'butter' straight from the fridge, ready to thickly spread on toast. There are a couple of dairy-free butters I used to buy, but they were all either hugely pricey, or contained ingredients I do not want to be eating, so in typical me fashion I have taken it upon myself to come up with my own recipe, because homemade is always best (and this recipe proves that point entirely!). A Thermomix or thermo cooker makes this recipe so easy, pureeing and emulsifying all the ingredients into a perfectly smooth and creamy paste (I really doubt you could get the same consistency without such high-powered blending).
Whether or not you eat dairy, I really think this is a handy and versatile recipe to have up your sleeve, and it is choc-full of ingredients I actually want to be including in my diet. And creamy and spreadable straight from the fridge? Amazing! You have probably got all the ingredients in your pantry already, win! Give it a go and let me know what you think xx

Ingredients
The Tools
Method
Soak cashew and macadamia nuts in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain.
Place drained nuts in TC bowl, add remaining ingredients, puree 1 min / speed 9. At this point it will be liquid, but do not stress, it will firm up nicely in the fridge. Pour into a glass jar, scraping the bowl clean with a Thermo Spoon Spatula, and refrigerate overnight before serving.
To finish
Store in the fridge for up to two weeks. It will stay soft and spreadable straight from the fridge, I love it! Spread thickly on toast with jam or vegemite and enjoy :)
