Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups raw cashews (soaked*)
1 1/2 cups water
2 15-ounce cans lite coconut milk
8-10 medjool dates
2 tablespoons freshly ground nutmeg + more for garnish
2 tablespoons vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

Place all ingredients, starting with 8 of the dates, into the pitcher of a large high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Taste; add and puree additional dates if you'd like it a bit sweeter. Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill. Serve, adding a bit of rum to each (adult!) serving if desired. Keeps refrigerated for 4-5 days.
For optional cinnamon rims, mix sugar and cinnamon in a saucer. Pour a bit of water in a second saucer. Lightly dip the rims of the glasses first into the water and then in the cinnamon sugar mix. Voila!
