Ingredients
Vegan Fruit Dip
- ½ cup raw cashews soak overnight or boil for 5 minutes unless using a high-speed blender; or substitute sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. Sunflower seeds must be soaked.
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or date syrup
- 6 ounces plain unsweetened vegan yogurt I used Kite Hill brand
- ⅓ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice or orange juice of choice.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves garnish
Fruit for Dipping
- 15 large strawberries
- 1 pint blackberries
- ½ whole pineapple cut into bit-sized cubes
- 2 mandarin oranges peeled and sectioned
Instructions
- Soak cashews overnight, or for a quick softening method, boil the cashews for 10 minutes and drain.
- If using a high-speed blender, soaking and boiling are not necessary.
- Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender cup
- Blend on high until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate; the dip will thicken upon cooling.
- Serve in a bowl surrounded by fruit or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Make sure to buy unsweetened plain vegan yogurt.
- Soaking the cashews helps to soften them when blending them. To soften cashews faster, boil them for 10 minutes, drain the water, rinse, and then blend them.
- The dip will thicken when chilled.
- Use a variety of fruits to make a colorful fruit tray.
- Add pretzels or vegan graham crackers for different textures.
- Place the fruit dip into ice cube trays or souper cubes for a delicious frozen treat!
