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:
- Put the cashews in your spice grinder (in batches, if needed) or food processor. Process until they pass the powdered stage and begin to clump a bit, about 1 minute.
- Put the ground cashews in your blender and add the water, lemon juice, oil, vinegar, and salt. Blend until very smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the sour cashew cream to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. It will thicken as it chills. If it thickens too much, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If it thickens too much in the refrigerator, just whisk in more water, as needed.
Tips:
- For a thicker sour cream, use less water or more cashews.
- For a tangier sour cream, add more lemon juice or vinegar.
- To make a flavored sour cream, add herbs, spices, or other flavorings.
- Cashew sour cream can be used in any recipe that calls for sour cream, such as tacos, burritos, soups, and baked goods.
- Cashew sour cream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Cashew sour cream is a delicious and versatile dairy-free alternative to sour cream. It is easy to make, and it can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or simply looking for a healthier alternative to sour cream, cashew sour cream is a great option.
