Super Easy Plant Based Sour Cream

We use this recipe a lot, a very simple plant based sour cream. Such a simple and versatile recipe. Change the measurements a little in any direction and it can be use in place of a mayonnaise too.

Yummy, I’ve been looking for a sour cream recipe to mix with steamed spinach and top tofu with the mixture and seasoned panko to bake. Thank you. Sounds perfect.

[@kismypencek6185]

Thank you, my local grocery stores don't often carry vegan sc, this looks doable!!! 🎉

[@VeganViki]

Thank you! I make a similar base minus the cashews but adding a half of an avocado with cilantro fresh garlic and lime juice with a pinch of cayenne to make an avocado crema for tacos or burritos, it's fabulous!💚🌱🥑

Been looking for a healthy sour cream recipe. Thanks for posting!

[@PlantBasedBistro]

You're welcome!

[@misterincreds5341]

Oh my goodness. I have wanted a replacement for regular sour cream. Plus, I actually have all the ingredients here to make this. SCORE!!

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Woohoo!

[@debbiestevens5490]

I agree with you adding the ACV and the apple cider vinegar along with a mustard. I know people don't like to put a lot of ingredients but they all do something a little bit different to make the taste oh so perfect

[@amymcmillan3796]

You make me happy LOL Cant wait to try this.

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Enjoy!

Hi B&D,
If I don't want to use cashews, do I double the tofu?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Yup, that should do it.

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Thanks B&D!
I'll probably tweak it a bit. I have a 850g block of homemade Navy bean tofu that would probably do quite well in this application. No recipe I touch remains untweaked.
I recently stumbled on Ms. Miwa's vegan tofu mayo recipe. I tweaked it a bit. The main tweak was that I subbed in aquafaba for the oil that her recipe called for. I can make aquafaba more affordably than buying oil.

[@MelanieOh]

I wonder how this could be achieved with fresh/homemade tofu (any level of pressing), given the beaniness of the product

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Not the same at all. You need silken tofu at least but most of those still don't taste neutral enough. Mori Nu works and it's cheap and shelf stable.

I didn't know you guys had a plant-based channel! I just started brewing and your videos are my go-to for info. But I've been vegan for 35 years. So finding this channel is perfect.

[@PlantBasedBistro]

awesome!

[@CraigMcArthur]

Question. Does it freeze well? I live alone so don't use a lot of sour cream. Cashew ones that I've tried freeze OK. Not perfect, but usable.
Silken tofu ones, when thawed, are liquid (I assume that the freezing denatures the proteins in a way that's different from the heat treatment needed to make tofu).
So, did combining cashews with tofu result in something that would be suitable to freeze for when I want fajitas?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Not sure I would freeze it but we get two weeks easy out of it in the fridge.

[@lenoredemers3560]

Another great video! How (or do) you make plant-based eggs (like Just Egg)? 😊❤❤

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Tofu or just egg mostly.

[@nellievance]

Just made it and tagged y'all on Instagram cuz it's THAT good!! ❤

[@CaptivePuppet]

Simple! Love it.

[@bryanbadonde9484]

Aldi is in USA now too?

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Yup!

[@PlantBasedPietro]

The two of you make me smile!!!! Love your recipes!!! Have a great day. :)

[@PlantBasedBistro]

Glad you like it!
