Instructions
- Place the unsweetened plant-based milk into a blender along with the yogurt, rice vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and salt.
- While the content of the blender mix at medium speed, slowly drizzle the oil over the course of 60 seconds. Placing the oil into a square container (that you can pour out of the corner from), or a pitcher with a spout helps make pouring easier and less messy.
- Once all oil has been added, turn the blender up to high speed and blend the mixture for another 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth and creamy emulsion.
- Once your mixture is thick and well-emulsified, use the sour cream immediately, or store under refrigeration for up to three days. It gets a bit thicker once it has chilled for at least 2 hours. Depending on what type of milk you use, it may separate after a couple of days, and require re-blending before use. If you have a choice, soy milk is best for this recipe because it contains lecithin, which helps support emulsification.
- If you want a fun flavored sour cream, stir in roasted and minced jalapeño with minced scallions, or introduce an herby dimension with minced garlic, dill, and chives. Get creative!

Notes
- 🌡️ Temperature Matters
- 🌡️
- Make sure your ingredients are hitting the blender at room temperature, especially the plant-based milk and yogurt. This little warmth boost sets the stage for smoother blending and a flawless emulsion.
- 🚿Pouring Like a Boss
- 🚿
- Drizzle the oil into the blender as slowly as you can. A 60-second pour might seem like a lot, but trust me, it's the secret sauce for a perfect emulsion – no separation drama later on.
- 🕰️ No Vintage Blenders Allowed
- 🕰️
- Step away from that relic you found in your grandmother’s attic circa 1975. While you might get away with a subpar blender or even a food processor, the struggle for a smooth emulsion will be real. Opt for a powerhouse blender like Blendtec; they're the true superheroes of blending.

- 🌿 Oil is Essential
- 🌿
- Upgrade your sour cream game with a top-tier oil – think high-quality organic sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil. Make sure to give it the sniff and taste test; fresh is non-negotiable. It’s simple: if your oil sucks, your sour cream will suck.
