Description

This creamy pear cream is a sweet vegan sauce blending pears, syrup, and cashews. It is a perfect, simple, and delicious alternative to yogurt and ready in 5 minutes. Enjoy it for breakfast, as a topping for desserts, or straight from the spoon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (500 g) canned pears
  • 2/3 cup (150 ml) canned pear syrup
  • 1 cup (130 g) cashews
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • optional: maple syrup to taste* (depending on how sweet the canned pears are)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients:
    Drain the canned pears, reserving the syrup.
    Measure 2 1/4 cups (500 g) of the canned pears and 2/3 cup (150 ml) of the canned pear syrup. (see notes for cashews).

  2. Blend:
    Place the canned pears, pear syrup, and cashews into a blender or food processor.
    Add vanilla and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
    Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

  3. Taste:
    Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding maple syrup to taste.

  4. Serve:
    Pour the pear cream into a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use.

  5. Garnish (optional):
    Drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness, sprinkle with cinnamon, granola, or chopped nuts for added flavor and crunch.
     
    Enjoy your delicious pear cream as a spread, yogurt alternative, or dessert base.


Notes

  • To achieve the creamiest consistency, boil the cashews for 10 minutes or soak them in water for a few hours before blending. This softens the cashews, making them easier to blend smoothly. I recommend this step if you don’t use a high-speed blender or if you are using a food processor.
  • Use cold pears and syrup to help thicken and set the cream faster.
  • You can store pear cream in the fridge for up to 3-4 days
