PdfPrep the Base: Soak your cashews and pitted dates in very hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and rinse the cashews, but you can keep the date soaking water if you want to use it as part of your 2-cup liquid base for extra flavor.
High-Speed Blend: Combine cashews, hemp hearts, dates, water, salt, and turmeric in the blender. Blend on high for at least 2 minutes. You want the friction to make the liquid warm—this ensures the fats from the hemp and cashews fully emulsify.
The Flavor Finish: Add the vanilla extract and vanilla bean powder last. Pulse for 10 seconds just to incorporate (blending vanilla too long on high heat can slightly dull its flavor).
Store: Pour into a glass carafe. It will thicken significantly in the fridge.
