Ingredients
Method
- Add Trader Joe's vegan cream cheese alternative and water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth, creamy, and aerated. If your blender is having difficulty, blend on low speed and/or stop to stir for 30 seconds.
- Taste and add optional salt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or onion powder for extra tang and depth, blending for 10 seconds after each addition.
- Serve right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for later use. Keep in mind that it will thicken in the refrigerator as it cools, because of the coconut oil in the cream cheese.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-speed blender to achieve maximum smoothness and aeration, which gives the sour cream a lighter texture.
- If the sour cream becomes too thick after refrigeration, simply add a teaspoon of water and whisk vigorously to restore its creamy consistency.
- To enhance the tanginess, a small amount of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice can be added to taste. This helps mimic the fermented flavor of traditional sour cream.
- Store leftover vegan sour cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is not recommended for freezing as the texture can change. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
