Soak the almonds overnight or for 8 hours until they plump up and become softer. Remove peels.
Place almonds in a blender with 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth. Then add sugar, remaining 3/4 cups water, salt and vanilla, and blend until smooth.

Pour into a small bowl then refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.

Notes
If you don't want to use the homemade vegan cream you could use vegan yogurt instead. Or even heavy coconut cream for a slightly different flavor.Another option is to use vegan sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar.
