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?

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

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

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 :)

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!
