The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian 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 just joined and cannot find the comment button. How can I make the sour cream and mayonaise last longer. I only make food for myself and these batches would not get consumed in a week.

Good question!
Freeze half of it right away – eat the fresh half right away, then defrost frozen batch in fridge when you want to eat it.

I just love the fact that I can look up nearly everything and find a great raw sub! About to try this one!

That was delicious. I threw mine in the freezer to quicken up the 2 hour wait and it was great. Will report tomorrow on how it does overnight. I seriously never thought it was going to be thick like sour cream but it was perfect.

Raw Sour Cream, YEEEEEH!!!!, awesome for my salads. Love it. I think I put i little more lemon than I should of, but I love this recipe. Very easy. Do you have any recipe for hummus? If you do, I can't find it. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Hi,
I just found your site and I love it! I am new to raw eating and this site gives me high hopes of maintaining this lifestyle. I don't have a Vitamix I have a Oyster blender but its pretty sharp. Do you think the sour cream will still come out creamy?

Hi Dawn, it won't come out quite as smooth. But to help make it smoother, try soaking your cashews in warm water for at least three hours before using. Drain and rinse. Then pat dry with tea towel. This will soften them and make it smoother to blend

How long should I soak the cashews if I have time to go that route?

Hi Susan if you choose to soak 2 hours should do it - then rinse and pat dry before using

I always loved a taco dip that my mother in law made....so I made homemade taco seasoning with dried seasonings and added it to the sour cream. Having it tomorrow. Can't wait to try it!

It is sooo good! I used it on raw tacos and it tasted just like sour cream. After reading the comments I decided to leave out the onion powder. I thought it tasted great and so did my husband!

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
