How To Make Vegan Sour Cream

If you think you can’t make sour cream without dairy, you’re wrong! Here’s one that’s made of vegan substitute ingredients.

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking:

Soak Time: 4 hours

Total: 4 hours 10 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1cupraw cashews,soaked for at least 4 hours if you do not have a high-powered blender
½cupwater
1tbsplemon juice,or more if needed
1tspapple cider vinegar
¼tspfine sea salt,heaping
¼tspdijon mustard

Instructions

In a blender, combine drained cashews, water, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and mustard.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides or adding water as necessary.
Taste and add an additional teaspoon of lemon juice if you would like more tang, or additional salt if you like a more intense flavor.
Serve immediately or chill the sour cream for later.

Recipe Notes

If you have leftovers, you can keep them chilled for about 5 days. The sour cream will thicken up a bit more as it rests; you can thin it out by whisking in a small amount of water later, if necessary.
