Hi Meg, We prefer to use a high powered blender to blitz the raw cashews fine enough. You could substitute the raw cashews for cashew butter/spread. However as we have not tested the recipe this way, let us know how you go. Enjoy!

Could you substitute cashew butter/spread for the raw cashews? I found the raw cashews were still a bit large even after processing.
