The Deluxe Cooking Blender comes to the rescue again. I use the pampered chef recipe and substitute coconut milk for heavy cream, and earth balance for butter 🙂 

** You can make this on the stovetop. Use a high powered blender to blend the cashews and other ingredients (you may have to soak the cashews first), then transfer to a pot on the stovetop. Cook slowly on the stovetop until the mixture is just over 165 F (if it goes to 185F then you have scrambled eggs instead of tempered eggs and thats going to be weird and chunky… big nope). Add the add ins, pour through strainer and continue with steps above.
