Vegan Cashew Sour Cream Recipes

CASHEW SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for 8 hours if you have the time. For a quick-soak method, pour boiling water over the cashews and soak for 1 hour. Rinse and drain.
• Place the drained cashews in a high-speed blender.
• Add the water, lemon, vinegar, and salt. Blend on high until super smooth. You might have to stop to scrape down the blender now and then or add a touch more water to get it going.
• Transfer into a small, air-tight container and chill in the fridge. It makes 2 cups. The cream will thicken up as it chills. The cream will keep in the fridge for about 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month. I like to freeze it in silicone mini muffin cups. Once solid, transfer the cups into a freezer-safe zip bag for easy grab and go portions.

Steps:

• Drain your soaked cashews well and place them in a food processor or high-speed blender.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse a few times, then blend on high until a homogenous and creamy mixture is formed.
• Taste test with a small spoon and adjust to your preferences by adding more of any of the components.
• Enjoy your homemade cashew sour cream immediately or transfer it to a sealed container and put it in the fridge. It will become firmer over time and keeps well for 4-5 days.
