Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp. (28 g) plant-based butter
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
¼ tsp. (1½ g) kosher salt
¼ tsp. (1½ g) paprika
¼ tsp. (1½ g) fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
8 oz. (225 g) plant-based cream cheese such as Miyoko's, Kite Hill, or Violife
1 tsp. (5 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. (3 g) dried chopped onions
Homemade or store-bought crispy fried shallots, for garnish (optional)
Chips or crudités, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the plant-based butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat until the butter melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the onion and mix well. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply brown, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until the garlic is lightly browned.
  • Scrape onion mixture into a small food processor or blender and pulse 4 or 5 times or until the onions are puréed.
  • Add the plant-based cream cheese and lemon juice and pulse 4 or 5 times until the onions are well dispersed throughout and dip has the consistency of sour cream. Do not over-pulse, or the plant based cream cheese will begin to get loose and runny. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the dried, chopped onions if using. Garnish with crispy shallots and more thyme, if desired. Serve with chips or crudités.

This dip is amazing! It's so creamy and flavorful. I love the tangy onion flavor. I've even used it as a spread for sandwiches.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The dip is delicious! It's the perfect balance of tangy and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I've tried many vegan sour cream and onion dips before, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and it tastes just like the real thing. I love using it as a dip for veggies, chips, and even pretzels.

This vegan sour cream and onion dip was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved it, even my non-vegan friends. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the onion flavor is just right. I'll definitely be making this again.
