Cashew Sour Cream

70 mins
Serves 450 ml
Savoury pancakes

This tangy, creamy, probiotic sour cream is a staple in our fridge. We enjoy it with many meals, including nacho’s, taco’s, wraps, baked potatoes, soups and as a dip. It thickens up in the fridge but I will often leave it out for 24 hours, drizzled with olive oil and a muslin cloth or similar over the top to start the fermentation which gives it an extra tang and flavour. It keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks in a clean sterilised jar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked 1 hour in boiling water
  • 150ml water
  • zest and juice 1 lemon
  • 2-3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

      Directions

      1. Add the cashews, water, lemon, apple cider vinegar and salt to a high-speed blender and blitz until very smooth.
      2. Check for acidity and add the extra measurement of vinegar if needed.
      3. Store in the fridge.
