Put the ingredients in a blender and mix until it forms a ball. Start with the lower amount of cashews and build up until you have almost the texture you desire.
Add the almonds and mix. (You can chose to keep them coarse or blend until the paste is quite smooth.)
Shape into balls, fingers or any shape you want.
Turn in cornstarch to stop from sticking together.
Store in an air-tight box for up to two weeks.
