Yes, you can. I would recommend for those that do not have a nut allergy, to consider making a cashew cream by blending up some cashews and water together in a high speed blender until you have the same creamy consistency. If you have a nut allergy, I also find using Oatly Oatmilk to work really well in place of coconut milk. As the stew thickens, it can still become very creamy.
