This cashew sour cream is tangy, rich, and super creamy! It’s much healthier than regular sour cream. The cashews provide an amazing texture when soaked and blended as well as a slight sweetness. It’s the perfect compliment for spicy dishes like your favorite veggie chili or veggie enchiladas.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked 1–2 hours)
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- Water to blend
Instructions
Notes
If you own a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix, it’s not necessary to soak the cashews, but it does help to make them even creamier.
To make the cashews extra creamy, soak the cashews overnight for at least 8-12 hours.

Wondering how long this will keep in the frig? TIA
Sadly, all of it usually gets eaten they day we make it:) But, the times I have managed to save some for myself, I have kept it covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Thanks Shane…..I just want to keep it a couple of days before Thanksgiving! 🙂
You should be just fine:) Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey I don’t have vinegar ; is it possible to make it without it ?? I love all your recipes .. Thank you !!
Yes. Just add a little more lemon. Should still turn out well. Thanks for reaching out!
Rich, creamy and tangy. Better than regular sour cream. And, healthier!
