Roasted Garlic Cashew Cream

This spread has many uses, can be eaten on bagels, crackers, in place of sour cream and so much more! 

Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews 
4 tbsp lime or lemon juice 
4 large cloves of garlic 
Water 


Soak cashews overnight or for at least 3 hours by placing nuts in a mason jar and filling with water just so they are covered. Set oven to 375F. Wrap the unpeeled cloves of garlic in foil, mimicking the shape of a Hershey Kiss. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the garlic is soft enough to puncture with a fork. Once finished, peel garlic and place in the blender along with the the soaked cashews and citrus juice. Pour water into the blender about an inch under the top of the cashews. Blend, adjusting thickness to your liking by adding more lime juice or water. Move mixture to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before use.
