Vegan Sour Cream Recipe from Oh She Glows | Serves: 2 cups | Time: ~5 min + soaking time
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked
3/4 cup of water
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Scant 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
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.
