How to Prepare Sour Cream [Vegan]

  1. Drain the cashews and put them into a high-speed blender along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. You can add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  2. You can eat it straight away but I’ve noticed that this vegan sour cream tastes the best when it’s kept in the fridge for at least an hour after making – it gets thicker and the flavors become richer.
  3. If you want to create the herby version, at this point you can also stir in fresh, chopped herbs.
  4. Keep in the fridge for up to 7 days and freeze any leftovers (they’ll keep in the freezer for up to a month).
