Soak cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes until soft.
In a high speed blender combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. This may take a few rounds and minutes of blending.
Pour either into a mold, parchment lined small rectangular container (about 4 inches x 2 inches) to be able to make stick, or into a container to just make it to scrape out.
Place in the fridge for at least 12 hours to set. If after 12 hours the vegan butter still feels a bit squishy and soft when you touch it you can place it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
If you want it to be a stick pull it out of the mold or parchment paper. If you want it to be a small container you can just enjoy immediately.
Use in your favorite baked goods or bread.
