Homemade is always best as you can create a much thicker version like a "cream". To create your own "cream", soak one cup of your desired nuts or seeds in hot water for about 30 minutes (or overnight in cold water). Drain the nuts/seeds and add them to a high-speed blender (i.e. Vitamix). Slowly add water to the blender until you get a consistency similar to a pancake batter.
