Notes: I found these roasted unsalted cashews at Target! My friend has bought them at Costco, too. If you can’t find roasted unsalted cashews, then buy raw unsalted cashews and toast them yourself. To toast your own, add the cashews to a baking sheet, and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant. Cool completely before using in the recipe. Alternatively, lightly salted cashews may be substituted, and reduce the amount of salt called for in the recipe to compensate.

I made my own chai spice using the following: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.

Feel free to adjust the amount of spices and salt to suit your tastes!

You’ll want to use a food processor or blender with very sharp blades and a strong motor. This ensures that the almond butter turns out smooth and creamy without overworking your machine. This is the food processor that I own, and I absolutely love it! It’s worth every single penny, and I use it every day. (And if you check out this blog post, you’ll see 13 other recipes of mine you can make with it!)

For the thickest texture, wait at least 12 hours after refrigerating before dipping in your spoon!
