Dairy Free Sour Cream Recipe - My Whole Food Life (2024)

March 18, 2014May 24, 2017 Melissa King Dips, Spreads and Sauces, Recipes

Y’all this Dairy Free Sour Cream is where it’s at. Many people are moving away from dairy these days. Maybe because so many kids these days cannot tolerate it. My own daughter is allergic to dairy.

It makes her skin break out. Sure there are dairy free sour cream products on the market, but those are usually soy based.

Since most soy in this country is GMO, I thought I would come up with my own vegan and paleo sour cream recipe.

This is also a vegan sour cream recipe! It’s super easy to make too! In addition to this recipe, I also have a dairy free cheese sauce and a dairy free ranch dressing.

This recipe actually came about by accident. I was trying to make a sauce for another recipe and after I made it, I realized it tasted JUST LIKE sour cream. So viola! That is the story of this delicious discovery.

Recipe Notes

This sour cream should keep in the fridge for a couple weeks. I haven't tried freezing it yet. If the consistency is a little thick, you can add a little more water until you reach a desired consistency.

  5. I have made this a few times already and IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD. I put it on top of soups, on tacos, pretty much anywhere you would use regular sour cream. This is definitely way better than any store bought dairy-free alternative. My lactose-intolerant self thanks you!

  9. You say use "raw" cashews, but apparently that can have different meanings. If it is unsalted and whole, but roasted is that the same? I just don't want to waste cahsews!

    Reply

    1. I use unroasted, unsalted cashews, but I'm sure if you use roasted, the recipe would taste similar. :)
