  • Broiled Orange With Vanilla Cashew Cream Recipe

    Ingredients

    1. Broiled Orange
      1 medium orange
      1 teaspoon slightly soft coconut oil
      1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
      Dash of cardamom
      1 tablespoon cashew cream (recipe below)
      1 teaspoon honey
    1. Cashew Cream
      Makes 5 tablespoons
      1/3 cup raw cashews
      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      Pinch salt
      Pinch cinnamon

    Directions

    1. Preheat broiler to high.
    2. Cut the orange in half crosswise, then cut off a small sliver of the rounded side of each half off so that they each stand upright, with the large cut side up.
    3. Remove any seeds. Run a sharp knife between the flesh and peel, then cut slices, following the natural orange segments. This will make your treat easier to eat.
    4. Brush the oil and spice mixture over the cut side of each orange half.
    5. Broil oranges for 4 to 5 minutes or until heated through.
    6. Top the with cashew cream, and drizzle with honey.

    Cashew cream:

    Makes 5 tablespoons

    1. Cover cashews with at least an inch of water and soak for at least 1 hour, and up to 12 hours. (If soaking for longer than an hour, store in the fridge).
    2. Drain water from cashews, then add soaked cashews, 1/4 cup filtered water, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon to a blender and blend until smooth.
    3. Add more water if the mixture needs to be thinner. If you don’t have a high-powered blender or are using a food processor, you may need to pause to scrape down the sides 1-2 times in order to fully blend.
