    Make a checklist. keep all ingredients close by. I make coffee with a filter. like Kumbakonam degree coffee. Coffee enhances the flavor of chocolate

    Vegan tangerine whipped topping
    To soak the cashews, put the raw cashews and ¼ cup water into a small bowl. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours. Drain the cashews and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
    Put the soaked and drained cashews, tofu, tangerine (or orange) juice, and maple syrup in a blender container. Blend for 30 seconds, or until completely smooth, adding a bit more juice if needed to achieve desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until well chilled
