Description

Cashew Sour Cream is a 5 ingredient recipe that has the flavor and texture of regular sour cream! Perfect for chili, pastas, baking, tacos and more!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup water (plus more for soaking)
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Add the cashews to a large bowl and cover generously with water. Transfer to the fridge to soak overnight, or 5-8 hours, until softened.
  2. Drain and rinse the cashews.
  3. Add the soaked cashews, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, mustard, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Store in a lidded container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Notes

See the post for more & quicker ways to soak the cashews!

If using a food processor, make sure your cashews are well softened. Blend for longer, 5-10 minutes and scrape down the sides often to achieve a smoother, more sour cream-like, texture.
