A cozy blender mocha cashew latte. This mocha is made creamy thanks to cashews and is sweetened with dates. All the ingredients are blended together to make a simple latte in less than 5 minutes. This comforting and nutritious drink is perfect for the colder months.
This is not your typical latte. This vegan latte is made with cashews to create a creamy drink, without dairy or plant-based milks. It’s simple, delicious and comforting. All you need is a blender, 4 ingredients and 5 minutes.
Here are the simple steps to making a creamy blender mocha latte.
Start by preparing the coffee using your preferred method.
Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, along with the warm coffee. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Unfortunately not. You do need a good blender to get the creamy finish. If your blender is on the weaker side, you might have some small date and cashew pieces floating in your drink. You don’t want that! Your options: You can try soaking your cashews overnight and letting your dates soak in boiling water for 5 minutes. You can also strain the latte using a fine mesh sieve before drinking. The results won’t be the same though. For a tested recipe that doesn’t require a strong blender, I recommend this salted maple hot cocoa.
If you want to use a different sweetener, you can replace the dates with maple syrup or granulated cane sugar to taste.
I don’t recommend using other whole nuts in this recipe. Cashews are softer and create a creamy drink. Other nuts might add an overpowering flavor or might not blend correctly. If you don’t want to use cashews, the best option is to use one tablespoon of almond butter.
Have you ever blended a hot soup in a blender? This is the same idea. My Vitamix blends hot liquids without a problem, but you can double check with your blender model to make sure that it works for you. That being said, be careful when removing the lid of your blender as there will be steam.
