Instructions
- 1
Place the drained cashews, vegan cream cheese, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Mash and stir vigorously with a fork until the mixture is smooth and spreadable with no large cashew chunks remaining, about 2 minutes. Fold in the sliced strawberries and set aside.

In a large shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the oat milk, cornstarch, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. The batter should be thin and pourable, similar to a light cream.
