Dairy Free Sour Cream Recipe - My Whole Food Life (2024)

This is so creative! Is there nothing cashews can't do?

I hate to buy a bottle of apple vinegar just to get 2T for his recipe. Is there something I can substitute? I have someapple juice in the frig. Thanks

This sounds great! On the same lines of this recipe, have you tried to make vegan yogurt yet? Do the same with the cashews (my recipe called for 1/2 almonds, 1/2 cashews), 1 cup medjool dates, 2-3 cups water, cinnamon and/or vanilla If desired...yum!P.s. There are thousands of uses for apple cider vinegar! I can never keep enough of it!!!

I really wish you had a Pinterest share button. That's where I try to keep all my online recipes.

Thanks for the great recipe! How long does this last in the fridge?

I am trying to cut back (even more than I already have) on dairy, so your recipe is one I have to try. It sounds like it tastes really good!

This sounds great, however my son is allergic to tree nuts. Do you have any suggestions for a nut-free alternative for the cashews? Thanks!!

I wonder how this would do as a substitute ingredient in a recipe. Will it have the same trade and texture as if you were using regular sour cream? Just wondering.

I've always loved sour cream dips but because of lactose intolerance in other members of my family I look for alternatives other than yogurt. I am just not a big fan of yogurt, I like it once in a while but not as a sour cream substitute. I hesitated to look at your recipe, thinking "another yogurt" recipe, but I looked anyway. Thank you, thank you; I use raw organic cashews in a chia pudding recipe that everybody likes and now thanks to your recipe I can make my dips again.

I have a bag of cashew flour from Trader Joe's. Do you think I substitute that for the soaked cashews?

It is not hyperbole when I say this recipe has changed my life. Thank you.

Hey Melissa, do I soak the cashews in the fridge or on the counter? I tried making your ranch dip but I couldn't get a smooth consistency... Not sure if it was the cashews, soaking them in the fridge, or my blender... Thanks!

To the above commenter with the blender question: I usually use a food processor and then give a final whirl in my blender to get a super smooth consistency for more difficult to puree dishes. My blender is not on the same level as a vitamix which is why I use this system. I find it works well - I made the vegan cauliflower "alfredo" sauce that is floating around the web these days with this method and it turned out perfectly smooth.

Hi :) Thank you for a good recipe. I am not a big fan of acv, so this tasted too much for me. Will half the amount or try white vinegar next time.

Do you know where I could find the cashews? Health store or my local supermarket? I can't wait to make this as I'm lactose intolerant and love sour cream so much! Thank you!
