List of Ingredients
1 c walnuts
2 c water
2 Tbsp kudzu root starch
2 Tbsp maple syrup*
1 tsp lemon juiceRecipe
Pre-soak walnuts in twice as much water for 6 to 8 hours, at room temperature. Drain and rinse nuts in a colander or strainer, under running water.
Combine kudzu with 1 cup of room temperature water and let stand for 2 minutes.
Combine nuts, maple syrup and lemon juice in the blender with 1cup water. Pulse (stop/start action) at first, and then blend on high, until smooth.
Stir kudzu solution; it will appear milky. Now add pureed nuts and heat, stirring continually, until it begins to thicken slightly.
Pour into a glass serving bowl and place on a cooling rack for about 1 hour, then refrigerate until set (3 to 4 hours).
Use like dairy cream. Whisk before serving, if you prefer a creamier, less custard-like consistency.
*For a whiter cream with lower sugar content, replace half or all of the maple syrup with agave cactus syrup.
