Quick Tofu and Cashew Sour Cream (Vegan)

Sounds so yummy! This recipe is from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Update: I tried this today and was really pleased with the results! I used it with Wonderful Curried Sweet Potato Soup by Tigerduck and I couldn't tell it wasn't real sour cream. Of course you can tell its not the real thing when eating it plain, but it's still nice. Best alternative when mixing it with other ingredients you would use sour cream with though. I'm sure I'll get the same terrific results when I use it in a black bean soup I plan to make tomorrow.
SERVES 10 -15 , 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) box morinu soft silken tofu (or 9 ounces regular tofu and 1/2 cup water)

- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped (may use dried chives)
Directions
1
Place all ingredients in blender, except the chives. Blend for at least 1 minute until silky smooth.2

I have tried every vegan sour cream recipe under the sun. This one, by far, is the best. I've made it 4 times in the past 2 weeks. Use it anywhere you would use sour cream. It's delicious. My daughter can't get enough of it! Thank you so much for sharing.

Being dairy intolerant, dips and sauces have become extinct for me. I am attending a new years eve party in couple of days and want something to munch on. This is just great! I put some garlic and 1 tsp of suger in it and will use it as a dip for chips. I can't believe how easy and quick this was. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

Yummy! This is so nice and creamy. Since I didn't expect it to taste like the "real" thing, I was really pleased. I enjoyed it on a baked sweet potato. I will definitely make this again. Edited 10/8/07: I have been experimenting with this and have found that I like it with lime juice instead of lemon juice and that it is good if you add a pinch of nutritional yeast (but not too much). Thanks for posting this recipe. I have really been enjoying it.
