- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
TO MAKE THE CASHEW CREAM:
- Place cashews in a blender and process until smooth. Add drained tofu, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and honey. Blend again until well mixed. Place cream in the fridge until ready to use. The cream can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated in an airtight container.
TO MAKE THE CARAMELISED ALMONDS:
- Place the sliced almonds and caster sugar is a pan. Heat under medium heat, carefully stirring the almonds until the sugar turns to caramel. Remove from heat when almonds are all coated with brown caramel. Spread the almonds on parchment paper and leave to cool. Break into pieces when hardened.
- Heat the grill on high. (You can also grill the peaches on the barbecue).
- Cut peaches in half and remove the stones. Brush all over with a bit of oil.
- Place under the grill or barbecue until just cooked through.
- Carefully arrange peaches on a serving platter. Add a dollop of cream on top alongside chunks of caramelised almonds.
