Cashew Sour Cream
This is a rich and tangy  vegan sour cream.  If you are not using a high-power blender, soak the cashews in boiling hot water for 15 minutes before you begin.

Equipment needed:
High-speed blender
Citrus juicer
Measuring cups/spoons

Servings: 2 Cups

Servings: 2 Cups
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) raw cashews, soaked
  • ¾ cup (190 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • Scant ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Steps
  1. Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for 8 hours if you have the time. For a quick-soak method, pour boiling water over the cashews and soak for 1 hour. Rinse and drain.
  2. Place the drained cashews in a high-speed blender.
  3. Add the water, lemon, vinegar, and salt. Blend on high until super smooth. You might have to stop to scrape down the blender now and then or add a touch more water to get it going.
  4. Transfer into a small, air-tight container and chill in the fridge. The cream will thicken up as it chills. The cream will keep in the fridge for about 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month. I like to freeze it in silicone mini muffin cups. Once solid, transfer the cups into a freezer-safe zip bag for easy grab and go portions.
