In fact, I love cashew-based sauces and desserts so much that you’ll see them all over my blog- like for these Easy Vegan Scalloped Potatoes, Healthy Mac and Cheese, or this Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip. However, I’ve found that cashews are the perfect neutral, creamy base for a number of vegan sauces and recipes. There are several base ingredients that you could use for making a sour cream substitute (and I have tried a few of them). I think I’ve finally found my perfect blend! And all from just six simple ingredients. I’ve spent a while perfecting this sour cream substitute, trying to make sure that each ingredient adds to the right flavor, texture, and consistency.

Serving Suggestions Recommended Equipment: I recommend using a high-speed blender or Nutri Bullet (affiliate link) for small jobs like this. For a faster soak, add them to hot water and let soak for 5 – 10 minutes (this is my preferred method).Soak cashews covered with 2 – 3 inches of water for 2 – 3 hours, overnight is great too but not necessary for cashews.But if you don’t have time to go through the process of soaking, you’ll be just fine if you don’t. Plus, it does help soften them up ensuring a creamy consistency. Soaking cashews will increase enzyme activity, offer greater absorption of the food’s nutrients by the body and help to increase digestibility. I know we snack on nuts without soaking, or eat them in our foods without going through this process, but it does have some advantages. It is recommended to soak the cashews before processing them. Mineral salt – just a pinch to bring out all the flavors.Apple cider vinegar – this also adds an acid flavor and is more potent than lemon.You can also use unsweetened, plain non-dairy milk if you prefer. Roasted cashews will yeild a deeper toasted flavor that is not characteristic of sour cream. Raw cashews – use only raw cashews for their neutral flavor.

It takes 10 minutes to make and will last up to 5 or 6 days in the refrigerator. In this recipe, raw cashews, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt are blended until creamy smooth. Serving Suggestions Ingredients You’ll Need
