Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Silken tofu (soft)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Raw cashews (soaked for 4-6 hours, drained)
- 1 teaspoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. Begin by soaking the raw cashews in water for 4-6 hours to soften them. If you're short on time, soak the cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. Drain any excess liquid from the silken tofu and add it to a high-speed blender or food processor.
3. Add the soaked and drained cashews, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, maple syrup, salt, and water into the blender with the tofu.
4. Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning to preference. Add a pinch more salt or an extra splash of lemon juice for more tanginess, if desired.
6. Transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken.
7. Serve cold as a topping, dip, or in recipes that call for sour cream. Keep refrigerated and consume within 5-7 days.
