This homemade oil-free vegan butter is creamy, spreadable, and made with just cashews, soy milk, and nutritional yeast — no dairy, no oil, and no cooking. Soak the cashews for at least 4 hours, blend everything smooth, and chill for at least 2 hours until firm. It makes 8 servings, with about 104 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, and keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Yes. Use unsweetened soy milk if you can — it is in the recipe and gives the best colour and creaminess. Unsweetened almond milk also works, though the butter may be a little softer and paler. Avoid sweetened or flavoured milks, which would change the flavour.
Nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy flavour and B vitamins. Salt, apple cider vinegar, and a squeeze of lemon juice mimic the tang of traditional butter, and you can adjust them to taste.
Spread it on toast, use it in cooking and baking, melt it over vegetables, or use it anywhere you would use dairy butter.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
