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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
2. Drain any excess liquid from the silken tofu and add it to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
5. Taste and adjust seasoning to preference. Add a pinch more salt or an extra splash of lemon juice for more tanginess, if desired.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
7. Serve cold as a topping, dip, or in recipes that call for sour cream. Keep refrigerated and consume within 5-7 days.
