Hello everyone!
A few days ago I shared a very Dominican traditional dessert: Redcurrant dessert! Today I bring yet another Dominican cookery classic!: Cashew dessert! All of these come from “Mama Anadina’s” kitchen, my mother in law and one of my most revered traditional cooks.
It’s very similar in its preparation to the Redcurrant dessert.
cashew dessert
Ingredients
- Ripe cashews. (In this case about 2 lbs.)
- Sugar. (about 1/2 cup)
- Cinnamon stick.
- Vanilla.
- Water.
Directions
Boil the cashews (be careful not to let them get too tender)
Once boiled, throw away that water and put them in fresh water. Squeeze them a bit, wash and throw away that water. Set apart.
In a pot add the sugar and cinnamon and just enough water to “wet them”, as it becomes a syrup, add the cashews and let it simmer until it’s well mixed and the cashews have absorbed well the flavors of the syrup. Add a bit of vanilla and turn off.
Allow to cool at room temperature.
Enjoy this very Dominican dessert and continue enjoying here, the home of Dominican cookery classics.

tienes poner la receta de las canquiñas! tengo mas the 20 años que no como eso! The recipe looks great as usual brother..
ja ja ja! oye eso dique canquiña! voy a investigarlo pero creo que es mas azucar que otra cosa. Thanks bro!
I’m sure the cashews and cinnamon make a great flavor combo. Looks like a lovely dessert.
Thanks! It’s delicious!
Your dessert looks fantastic Arturo! Do you think dried cashews would work for this recipe? I’ve never come across fresh/ripe cashews around here…
Not for this recipe, because what we use for the dessert is the pulp. There is a another dessert we make with peanuts and I guess it can also be made with dry cashews. I’ll share that recipe soon. Thanks for your comments!
