About

With just three ingredients and a bit of patience, you can make a rich, creamy, thick vegan sour cream that can be used in any recipe that calls for the dairy-based version.

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 3 to 8 hours and drained
1 cup rejuvelac

Method

Process the ingredients.

Put the cashews, rejuvelac, and salt in a blender. Process until smooth and creamy, occasionally stopping to scrape down the blender jar and move the mixture toward the blades.
Culture the sour cream.

Transfer the mixture to a clean glass bowl or container, cover, and let rest at room temperature
