Put the cashews into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. This will soften the cashews so they can blend completely smooth.
Put the remaining ingredients into a blender.
Drain the cashews and add them to the blender. Process until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continually for about five minutes; it forms lumps and turns thick.
Can be used as a spreadable cheez at this point, or refrigerated.
Notes
This recipe is adapted from one by itdoesnttastelikechickenThe cheez will get a little thicker in the fridge but will still be soft and spreadable.
