Directions
Directions to make this raw sour cream recipe:
1. If you are wise and patient, soak your cashews first and then rinse them before blending. If you are impatient and have a high-speed blender, just throw dry cashews in your blender.
2. Add all ingredients, including cashews, into your blender.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Transfer to a bowl and then chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
5. Enjoy on raw vegan tacos or as a dip!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw sour cream recipe - Yet another simple cashew-based recipe that whips up quickly in the blender and will tingle your taste-buds!
Big thanks to Ashlyn for sending this recipe my way. It's totally my style (simple, quick and delicious) and a great excuse to make this raw vegan taco meat recipe, which I hadn't had for ages. Because to me tacos and sour cream go hand in hand, don't you think!
This is super quick to prepare. Best made in a high-speed blender, of course.
What is your favorite way to use raw sour cream at home?

I am so glad you like it, Laura-Jane! I was starting to think that maybe you had forgotten about it but I can see that you have been very busy in the kitchen creating all those delicious new recipes you've recently posted. :)
I hope you and everyone else finds this recipe as versatile as I have. I use it for tacos and as a base for dips and soups.
Enjoy!

Where is the sour cream ingredient in this Raw Sour Cream Recipe?

Hi Jodi,
All of my recipes are raw and vegan (dairy-free) so there is no sour cream in this recipe.
The purpose of this recipe is to create a vegan, dairy-free recipe that resembles sour cream without actually using sour cream :)

This looks very interesting. Could you please explain the taste and texture of this? Is it really thick and creamy? Does it taste nutty?

Does it taste nutty? Nope
Thick and creamy? Yep
Provided that you have a good blender, like a Vitamix

The consistency was exactly like sour cream, the only thing was it tasted like ranch to me. I made it for beans and ended up having to use it as a vegetable dip. Maybe the onion powder was too much. Any suggestions?

I do agree that cutting out onion powder might make it more sour creamy

I am not able to eat cashews (sesame seeds or peanuts) and I have noticed there are a lot of recipes that call for cashews. Do you know of any substitutes for cashews? I love your site and the great info you share. I find that your recipes are the only ones I look for when I am searching for something good to eat. I am new to raw and you have been so helpful! I originally thought I could not be 100% raw but after hearing what you have to say I think it may be do-able!

Can you eat macadamia nuts? That might work as good substitute for cashews - soak and rinse them first though
