Vegan Chai Cream
I have already made my recipe for a vegan chai cream in various versions, refining it with every new variation. Since the beginning of 2022, I have been cooking for various yoga retreats, where this chai-spiced and sweet dessert has become more and more popular. Again and again, I have been asked to share this recipe. A good reason to share my delicious vegan chai cream with you.
Ingredients
- 2 spiced chai tea bags (with only a bit or completely without black tea)
- 100 ml boiling hot water
- 50 g cashews
- 100 g tofu white natural tofu
- 150 g coconut cream
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 pinches cinnamon
- 1 pinch cardamom
- 1 pinch clove powder
- 4 Tbsp agave syrup
Instructions
- For this recipe you need coconut cream as an ingredient. I call the fatty part of the coconut milk the coconut cream. To get the coconut cream, is easy: Put a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Next day the coconut milk will have separated. At the top of the can is the solidified fatty part, the coconut cream. You will need 150 g of this for 2 servings of this recipe.
- Boil water in a kettle. Then pour the boiling hot water over tea bags and let infuse for 5 min. Then take out the tea bags.kettle
- Pour hot water over cashews and let soak for at least 15 min.
- Roughly chop tofu and put into a bowl along with all ingredients including soaked cashews (without soaking water) and tea.
- Mix well with a food processor or a hand mixer until smooth.
- Then pour into 2 dessert glasses and put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; the still liquid cream will become more solid.
- Decorate with e.g. fresh berries, mint leaves and chopped cashews.
