Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cashew Butter: 

Roast the Cashews (Optional): 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw cashews on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast them for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown. Roasting enhances the flavour of the cashews, but you can skip this step if you prefer a raw cashew flavour. 

Cool the Cashews: 

Allow the roasted cashews to cool for a few minutes until they are no longer hot to the touch. 

Blend the Cashews: 

Transfer the roasted or raw cashews to the food processor or high-speed blender. If you roasted the cashews, make sure they've cooled down before blending.
