Vegan sour cream

December 24, 2016 Jump to Recipe | Pin Recipe Print Recipe

This tangy, creamy, and vegan sour cream is fabulous

Last Updated January 12, 2018
Vegan sour cream with chives on top served with sweet potato latkes in background.

Sometimes you just need a dollop.

We’ve used some simple ingredients to create a vegan sour cream.

By utilizing our Vitamix, we get a consistent texture that’s creamy like the real thing!

Go make this sour cream and top all of the things.

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

There’s certain things you don’t know you love until they are gone. This is a pretty common pop-song theme, so you should be familiar.

Sour cream is not one of my favorite foods, but it tops a lot of em! Baked potato, latkes, nachos (tons of other things in our Vitamix Recipe Index too)!

I didn’t know it was something I’d miss when we veganized our kitchen. But I did.

Especially when we were doing photo shoots for our Vitamix Soups. All I wanted was a dollop of sour cream.

So we made some. And it’s legit.

If you’ve just had some dairy sour cream and then try this, it won’t be the same. But if you haven’t had it in several weeks, or years (like Lenny), this is an absolute gem. He used it on every meal until it was gone.

Go blend up some sour cream. Your vegan friends will be stoked!

    Do you need to press the liquid out of the Tofu first?

      I’d do a quick drain, no pull press necessary.

      So glad it worked out for you, Nick! Sour cream really is one of those things that you miss when you go dairy-free.

    Is that a package of Mori-Nu Tofu in the recipe?

      We’ve used several brands, it really just needs to be any kind of firm tofu.
