Directions
- 1
Add the roasted peanuts to a blender and process until you obtain a coarse, sandy meal.
- 2
Add the cornstarch and pulse briefly to combine evenly with the ground peanuts.
- 3
With the blender running, gradually pour in the hot water to scald the mixture and develop a smooth, lump-free texture.
- 4
Add the brown sugar (or honey) and salt, then blend for a further 1–2 minutes until the cream is silky and uniform.
- 5
Pour into an airtight jar and refrigerate near the coldest section of the fridge for a firmer set. Serve spread on whole grain bread or alongside crackers.
💡 Chef's Tip
For the smoothest result, chill the cream for at least 2 hours before serving. A pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract makes a lovely addition.
