Made with Silk Cashew Milk these delicious Cashew Pralines are an easy, no-bake candy recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes and they’re perfect for sharing!
Years ago when we had our first child I switched from my regular skim milk to Silk Almond Milk for dietary needs and after I weaned my baby I attempted to switch back, but the taste just wasn’t the same. So you can imagine how excited I get when Silk comes out with a new dairy milk alternative and in the case of Cashew Milk my head was just spinning with all the possibilities!
Ever since Thanksgiving I have been toying with the idea of making pralines, I just love them, but I was too intimidated and busy to attempt making them during the holidays. After I tried my first sip of the NEW Silk Cashew Milk, I just knew it was finally time to conquer my prailine-making fears.
Silk Cashew Milk is the perfect match between tasty and guilt-free. Smooth, creamy and with 50% more calcium than traditional milk, it’s perfect over cereal, in smoothies and as a dairy milk substitute in your favorite recipes. I loved the added boost of cashew it brought to these pralines and that it makes them “lighter” than your typical praline without sacrificing any of the flavor!
I just love how simple and quick these little beauties are to make, they will definitely be on my list this holiday season. There’s just something about homemade candy that always makes me smile, for instance look at that nice vanilla bean flecking. How will you use Silk Cashew Milk? I hope you get a chance to try these Cashew Pralines soon and that you’ll enjoy them!

Yum! I’m always a huge fan of quick and easy desserts! And vanilla bean paste is one of my favorite secret ingredients!
Thanks Natalie, they are so yummy!
These look SO seriously good. Love the cashew milk in there!
Thank you Ashely, it really boosts the cashew flavor 🙂
I’ve always wanted to try making pralines and love that you made cashew pralines with cashew milk! What a great idea! Looks fantastic!
They’re so easy to make Kelly, you’re going to love them!
Can’t wait to try it! It looks sooo good!
Thank you Liz!
Can an item like Earth Balance ‘Butter’ be used to make these vegan? Looking forward to trying them!
I am sure it would work just fine Robin, my sister is vegan and uses it in everything. I hope you enjoy them!
We use cashew milk because my husband is lactose intolerant. He can’t have butter or margerine and I’m having trouble finding recipes with no butter or marg. Any suggestions?
Janice I haven’t tried this recipe yet with coconut oil, but I am planning on doing so soon, also I think you could use a non-dairy butter substitute. I hope you will try them soon and enjoy 🙂
