10 Dairy-Free Recipes With Cashew Milk

Creamy, dreamy, and 100% vegan, these recipes with cashew milk are too good to miss.

They’re dairy-free, easy to make, and totally drool-worthy!

Cashew milk is all the rage right now. Not only is it vegan, but it’s also high in nutrients and low in calories. 

It can help with anemia, skin health, and blood sugar levels. Plus, it tastes great!

So if you’re looking for some new recipes with cashew milk, check out these ten favorites.

Top 10 Ways to Use Cashew Milk

1. Cashew Ice Cream

Let’s start with one of my favorites: cashew ice cream.

It’s super yummy and vegan-friendly, so almost everyone can enjoy it, no matter their dietary needs.

It has a mild, lightly sweet flavor and the best texture. It’s so soft and creamy, spooning it into your mouth will make you sigh in pleasure. 

It’s reasonably easy to make, too. So, give it a try the next time you have a summer cookout.

2. Cashew Alfredo Sauce

If there’s one thing most vegans would agree on, it’s that shopping is hard. Or maybe hard isn’t the right word.

Perhaps frustrating is better. 

You can’t always find vegan versions of the things you need. And when you do, they’re usually so much more expensive! 

So why bother hunting down vegan Alfredo sauce when you can make your own?

This rich, creamy sauce is vegan, delicious, and takes just 15 minutes to prepare. You can’t go wrong with that.

3. Strawberry Cashew Smoothie

Cut some calories from your morning smoothie the easy way – just use cashew milk instead of regular.

You’ll still have a thick, creamy, and delightfully sweet treat on your hands.

And don’t worry if you can’t find all the ingredients on the list. The great thing about smoothies is how versatile they are.

Feel free to mix, match, and tweak the recipe however you like. (You can find bee pollen on Amazon, though!)

4. Cashew Chickpea Curry

One bite, and you’ll never believe this flavorful curry is vegan.

It’s chunky, well-spiced, and unbelievably filling with great texture and beautiful golden-orange color. 

Check it out the next time you’re in the mood for Indian food.

It’s so good, you’ll likely appreciate it even if you aren’t vegan.

5. Spinach Artichoke Pasta Bake with Cashew Cream Sauce

This decadent and delicious pasta is the perfect vegan dinner.

It’s like spinach-artichoke dip, only in pasta form, and it takes less than an hour to make.

The luscious sauce is earthy, herby, and loaded with spinach and artichokes. It’s something the whole family will enjoy.

Trust me, you won’t have to worry about leftovers with this one. In fact, your family might even lick their plates clean.

6. Cashew Milk Mexican Hot Chocolate

Are you on the keto diet but have a craving for hot chocolate? I’ve got you, Boo!

This simple, six-ingredient recipe is crazy delish with just 15 net carbs.

I know, I know. That still sounds like a lot. But this rich, chocolatey, decadent dessert-drink is well worth every carb. 

You can’t have it every night, of course. For an occasional treat, though, it’s a phenomenal recipe.

It’s a sweet, gently spiced winter delight you’ll go nuts for.

7. Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes

Technically, all mashed potatoes are vegan if you just leave out the butter and sour cream.

But here’s the problem: what good are mashed potatoes without all the creamy extras?! 

Luckily, you can substitute cashew milk, coconut milk, and coconut oil for that stuff.

You’ll get the same creamy, fluffy, indulgent potatoes without all the dairy. Yum!

8. Homemade Real Fruit Popsicles

I adore homemade popsicles. Making them is one of my favorite things about summer, and I look forward to it all year long. 

Of course, you can make them any time. But the berries taste better in season, so I always wait until summer.

These are rich, fruity, and delightfully tangy. Kids and adults alike will go nuts for them.

Best of all, they take just 10 minutes to prepare. (Budget four hours for freezing, though.)

9. Cold Brew Coffee

Make your morning cold brew a little healthier with cashew milk.

It’s just as smooth and energy-boosting, but you’ll add more flavor with Medjool dates and peanut butter. 

At first, all that may seem odd. But if you think of it like a Starbucks specialty drink, it’ll make more sense.

It’s creamy, nutty, and slightly sweet. Even non-coffee lovers will likely appreciate this one.

10. Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup with Cashew Milk

Vegan cauliflower soup is creamy, comforting, and oh-so-good.

It’s thick and super luxurious even though it doesn’t use heavy cream. One bowl is hearty, vegan, and sure to fill you up. 

And as a bonus, it’s also packed with things that are good for you. So go ahead and have a second bowl!
