Finally a Real Tasting Sour Cream

Recipe in Post

I have been on a mission to make myself some vegan sour cream, that tastes like sour cream. OMG! I think I did it! Its a little runny but I don't care it tastes so good! I had my hubby taste it (he is still full time meat and real dairy eater), he said it tasted like the real thing!! YAY! hope you all enjoy and if anyone as an idea about how to thicken it a little without changing the flavor, I am all ears!

Wonder if you drain the yogurt liquid (maybe boiling or straining) if it will be thicker like real sour cream.

Interesting. it never crossed my mind to dump the liquid out. it isn't much but every little bit would help! Thanks for the suggestion

I think the intent is to strain the yogurt by putting it in a cheesecloth lined strainer and letting it drain for an hour or two. This thickens the yogurt and concentrates the flavor. If you leave it longer, you can make yogurt cheese this way.

I hope you like it too. also you may need adjust the salt if you feel it needs more. I go light on salt. but taste first.
