Making the Cashew Cream

  3. Then mix together well
  4. Scoop mixture into greased ramekins for individual servings or into a greased casserole baking dish
  5. Next, dust the top of the mixture with some nutritional yeast, followed by a pinch of smoked paprika
  6. Bake for 20 minutes if using individual ramekins or for 30-40 minutes if using a casserole dish
  7. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving
