  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

Instructions

    Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

    Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sour cream and adjust salt or lemon juice as desired.

    You can add more nutritional yeast for a stronger flavor.
  5. Serve or Store

    Transfer the cashew sour cream to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.

    It can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
