Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to soften. If you're short on time, soak them in boiling water for 30 minutes.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add the coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, water, and sea salt to the blender with the cashews.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
Taste the mixture and adjust the tanginess or salt level by adding more lemon juice or sea salt, if desired.
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.
Stir before serving, and enjoy as a topping or dip with your favorite paleo and vegan meals!
