Cashew Sour Cream
Jump to Recipe
This cashew sour cream is the perfect dip or sauce to pair with pretty much anything. I love putting these into tacos or spreading them on elotes. It’s so versatile. It even tastes good dipping it with tortilla chips.
This plant-based sour cream is packed with protein. It is such a smooth and creamy texture. The flavor is subtle, but so tasty. I get a lot of requests from friends to make this whenever they are over and I am happy to do so since it’s super quick to whip up.
