Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew nuts raw
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½-¾ cup milk unsweetened dairy-free or water
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add cashews to a bowl and cover with water. Let cashews soak for 1-8 hours. Drain water.
- Add soaked cashews, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup dairy-free milk into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until creamy, if the mixture seems really thick, add more milk, 1 Tablespoon at a time until the mixture is blending smoothly, but don’t add too much because you don’t want the cream to be too thin.
- Once blended, pour sour cream into a dish and serve at room temp or place in the fridge. It will thicken as it chills. Cashew sour cream should last 3-4 days, up to a week in the fridge and up to 6 months if stored in the freezer.
