This cashew cream is a personal favorite of mine from Cocina Holistica. Kassia Fiedor created this recipe while working as a personal chef in Guatemala, where hibiscus flowers bloom at every turn. A deep, rich, cashew cream, flavored by the beautiful hibiscus flowers. Thank you again, Kassia, for your culinary creativity!

Cashew Hibiscus Cream
Don’t let the hibiscus intimidate you. The flowers are often available in the Latin aisle of your supermarket. Or you can purchase hibiscus tea and make it very strong. The rest of the ingredients are likely already in your kitchen. The recipe itself is only 6 ingredients. The flavor is definitely “una fiesta en la boca!” aka a party in the mouth!Thanks to Kassia Emily Fiedor and "Cocina Holistica"!
