QUICK TOFU AND CASHEW SOUR CREAM (VEGAN)
Sounds so yummy! This recipe is from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Update: I tried this today and was really pleased with the results! I used it with recipe #161324 by Tigerduck and I couldn't tell it wasn't real sour cream. Of course you can tell its not the real thing when eating it plain, but it's still nice. Best alternative when mixing it with other ingredients you would use sour cream with though. I'm sure I'll get the same terrific results when I use it in a black bean soup I plan to make tomorrow.

CASHEW SOUR CREAM - NON-DAIRY SOUR CREAM ALTERNATIVE/SUBSTITUTE
It blew my mind how much this tasted like regular sour cream! Yes, it's vegan, pareve, non-dairy and raw... But it's creamy as can be, and you can use it in any recipe that calls for sour cream. My lactose intolerant friend who hadn't eaten sour cream in years was in heaven when I served this to her. It refrigerates well. Try it on black bean soup, burritos, nachos, or tamales. You can also use it to cool down spicy recipes, or put a dab of it on borscht (beet soup).

Steps:
- Soak cashews in at least 3 cups of water. For a quick soak, pour 3 cups of boiling water cashews. Let soak at room temp for 15 minutes. For a not-so-quick soak, pour 3 cups cold/tepid/lukewarm tap water over 1 cup of cashews. Let soak at least 2 hours or up to 18 hours (any longer than that and you should refrigerate).
- Drain soaked cashews in a colander or sieve and rinse with cold water.
- Place soaked cashews in the pitcher of a high-speed blender along with the lemon juice, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water.
- Puree on max speed until completely smooth, 1-2 minutes.
- Taste and add additional salt if desired. Sometimes I like to add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar if I'm looking for some extra tangy tang.
- Keeps in refrigerated in an airtight container for 4-5 days. You can also freeze it - score!
Tips:
- Choose the right cashews. Opt for raw, unsalted cashews to maintain the best taste and quality.
- Soak the cashews. Soaking the cashews overnight softens them and makes them easier to blend.
- Use a high-powered blender. A high-powered blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add water or broth as needed. The amount of water or broth you add will depend on the desired consistency.
- Season to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other seasonings to adjust the flavor to your liking.
- Store properly. Cashew sour cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Cashew sour cream is a delicious and versatile plant-based alternative to traditional sour cream. It is easy to make, incredibly creamy, and can be used as a topping for tacos, burritos, soups, and salads. It is also a great addition to baked goods and desserts. With its many health benefits and ease of preparation, cashew sour cream is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthier and more sustainable alternative to dairy products.
