It's easier than you might think to make cashew butter at home! Before blending, briefly roast the cashews to achieve a smooth consistency and rich flavor. It enhances the natural flavor and creates an irresistible creamier texture.

Get ready to be astounded if you have never tried cashew butter. It is silky, rich, and, if I may say so, almost dessert-like. For a little cookie-dough magic, I occasionally even add a handful of chocolate chips. Homemade cashew butter is produced with only pure cashews and a dash of salt for flavor, as opposed to store-bought types that contain oils.
Although store-bought cashew butter can be expensive, you can create your own at home for a much lower price. Instead, spend a few minutes in the kitchen and save money!
Tips for Making Cashew Butter
Here’s the full recipe below, but here are some tips to get you started:
Toast the Cashews: Toasting not only enhances the flavor but also makes the nuts blend more smoothly. I recommend baking them for around 10 minutes at 350°F. This brief toasting gives the butter a rich, toasted flavor without being overpowering.
Choose a Food Processor over a Blender: Although powerful blenders work for smoothies, a food processor is ideal for making cashew butter since it allows for hands-free processing without needing added oils.

Recipe: Creamy Cashew Butter
Yields about 1 ¾ cups
Ingredients
- 16 ounces (about 3 cups) raw, unsalted cashews
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the cashews evenly on a baking sheet with rims and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
- Allow the cashews to cool until they’re warm but not hot, around 10 minutes.
- Transfer the warm cashews to a food processor. Add the salt and blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. The cashews will go through stages, starting as crumbs, then clumps, and finally becoming silky-smooth. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Let the cashew butter cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Enjoy your fresh, creamy cashew butter!
