In this post I’ll share with you how to make this super easy oil-free vegan cashew sour cream which contains cashews, lemon juice, salt, water and optional sunflower lecithin and psyllium husk. The sunflower lecithin helps keep this recipe emulsified (not separate) and the whole psyllium husk helps give it body.

Dairy free sour cream recipe

However, both are optional if you do not have them in your pantry. Without them, the sour cream will be a little more runny. You can decrease the liquid slightly if you prefer a thicker sour cream. You can whip up this sour cream while your baked potatoes are cooking and have it ready just in time for dinner, no waiting required.

  • Shop for sunflower lecithin on Amazon.com
  • Shop for whole psyllium husk at Amazon.com

I love sour cream and when I quit my dairy addiction I was desperate to find a substitute I really enjoyed. All of the vegan sour cream I found at the grocery store contained oil and processed ingredients so I decided to make my own. When I did I realized just how simple and easy it is to make oil-free vegan sour cream!

Why make vegan sour cream?

Here’s what the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says about dairy and health:

Milk and other dairy products are the top source of saturated fat in the American diet, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers.

Making your own, homemade version of “sour cream” is very easy. All you need is a blender.

How to use vegan cashew sour cream

  1. …over baked potatoes
  2. …over nachos
  3. …over or inside of burritos

Cashew Sour Cream

Makes about 1/2 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews, ground finely (use a blender or coffee grinder)
  • 1/3 cup water + more as needed
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Pinch iodized salt
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole psyllium husk, optional

Directions

  1. First, grind cashews to make them easy to blend. Do this by placing the cashews into your blender and grind, or use a coffee grinder. This is recommended if you do not have a high powered blender.
  2. Next, add lemon juice, water, salt and optional sunflower lecithin and psyllium husk. Blend on high until creamy, about 30 seconds or 1 minute.
  3. Enjoy immediately, or chill for 30 minutes and serve cold.
