To a blender, add ½ cup of California walnuts, 1 can of coconut cream, ¼ of honey, ¼ cup of lime juice, pinch of salt and pepper, paprika, curry powder (or chili powder) and garlic powder. Blend until a smooth, thick sauce has been formed. Add more California walnuts to thicken the sauce if necessary.
