Strawberry cashew cream (or strawberry fondant) #glutenfree #dairyfree #refinedsugarfree #vegan. https://freefromfairy.com

I think I may have died and gone to heaven. This strawberry fondant made with cashew cream is so easy to make and so utterly delicious you’d never know it was ‘freefrom’.

This week I have been eating fruit again having had four weeks of no sugar at all.

It is like being given back the gift of taste. ย How I imagine it to be when, as a baby, you are first introduced to the wonders of solid food.

Since when did a green apple taste so incredible? ย I savoured every minute of my granny smith the other night, like I have never done before.

And when it comes to strawberries (yes, I know they are out of season, but a little indulgence on low fructose fruit needed to be done)…well, what can I say?

In sheer excitement of being able to eat fruit again I came up with this most incredible invention. ย I’m calling it strawberry fondant, because it reminds me of the gooey stuff you find in strawberry cream chocolates. ย The good ones…not those that contain strawberry flavour and some fairly thin sickly sweet gunk.

This ‘strawberry fondant’ is actually made with cashew cream and is wonderfully thick and creamy.

It’s perfect on toast…

It’s perfect in my homemade healthy chocolateย (you can watch how to make those below).

And it is perfect straight from the spoon. ย I suspect it would be the perfect filling in, or on a sugar-free cake…but it will never make it that far in this house!

Yes, I am raving about it rather a lot but seriously, I think this might be one of the best recipes I have ever created.

It is super simple too! You only need four ingredients…five if you like things sweet (you could add a bit of sugar or honey or stevia…but try it without first). ย And I bet most of you have got them in your cupboards right now.

So go forth and make a jar of this fabulous strawberry cashew cream or strawberry fondant. You will never regret it…except that you might not be able to stop eating it.

And if you do make it, please tell me what you think. ย And I’d love to know what you used it in (or if you just ate it from the jar like me).

    How long is the fondant good for in a jam jar in the fridge?

      Hi Tanya, I’ll be honest in saying that it doesn’t last long here so I can’t say for sure but I’m pretty certain it would be fine for a week. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Now this is my kind of recipe. But I’m being tested among many other irritants for nut allergies. I’m still gonna get hubby to get the ingredients when shopping as it’s no sugar and the kids should love it too. Thanks for your genius. On another note, I made some coconut choc bomb balls, I called them that as so rich I added some more things. It was a case of just grabbing and throwing together and it worked. X

        Hi Dawn, I recommend using Ndali vanilla powder. You can find a link to Amazon where I buy it on my Vicki Recommends page. If you use the link I get a small commission for sending you there which helps keep the site running!
