Sour Cream, Raw Dairy Free Cashew (SCD/Paleo/GAPS)

By seamline

When I came across a recipe for cashew sour cream in one of my favorite cookbooks from Cafe Gratitude I thought, “Yeah, we’ll see.” There’s like 3 ingredients…how is this going to turn out. I haven’t had real sour cream in years and I so miss this addition to our taqueria night. I am opposed to soy sour cream and so what’s a dairy-free girl to do? Can I tell you I nearly fell off my chair when I bit into my burrito. DELICIOUS. I couldn’t believe it. My kids loved it too, and of course my husband was very impressed. Please try this and be dazzled by delicious simplicity.

• -1 1/2 cups soaked cashews (4-8 hours)
