Dairy-Free Sour Cream 🌱

Okay, I know, it's not a dessert nor dessert related BUT I wanted to share dairy-free substitutes that would help you in your daily cooking (and eating 😂) endevours 😁.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup Sunflower seed (raw, unsalted)

• 1 1/2 cup Water

• 5 Tbsp Lemon juice

• 2,5 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar

• 3 tsp Salt

(Optional)

• 1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast or 1 Tbsp Mustard Instructions

~

1. First, you need to soak the sunflower seeds. Well, not really soak, rather soften them. Pour boiling water on them and let them rest for approx. 20 minutes. If you're short in time but has a high powered blender, you can skip this step.

2. Take a high powered blender (like Vitamix) and add all ingredients in it (softened seeds, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt). Blend for 5 minutes tops until your sunflower sour cream is so-so creamy.

Recipe Notes ✏

~

✔ We tested and tasted the lemon and apple cider vinegar ratio a lot and we found this ratio to our taste. As cashews have a more neutral taste, you need to add more flavors to sunflower seeds to overpower their seed-like aftertaste.

✔ In any case, none of the non-dairy sour cream alternatives will match EXACTLY to dairy sour cream. You need to keep an open mind and try and test for yourself. But to be honest, homemade recipes can get you just close enough to enjoy your favorite sour cream-based dishes again.
