    A creamy, rich and decadent Tofu Sour Cream. Serve it on tacos, enchiladas, chili and more.

    I have a confession to make. I’ve always had a love affair with sour cream. Whether it be on tacos, enchiladas, chili or served right out of the container, you name it, I’ve put sour cream on it! But now that I’m vegan, creating a vegan sour cream that reminds me of the real deal has been challenging. Getting the right blend of sour and creamy is delicate; it can even be touchy. What’s a vegan food goddess like myself supposed to do? My 10-Minute Tofu Sour Cream just might be the answer.

    If you’re looking for a vegan sour cream that’s easy to make and tastes great, this creamy Tofu Sour Cream goes from prep to plate in 10 minutes or less and is actually good for you, too. It pairs well with my Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff and adds a tangy, creamy twist to my One-Pot Vegan Enchiladas, my Smoky Sweet Potato and White Bean Enchiladas and my Kick-Ass Sweet Potato and Persimmon Chili. Ohhhh, and let’s not forget my Spicy Jackfruit Tacos, my Crispy Coconut-Pumpkin Cauliflower Tacos and my Raw Walnut Tacos.  This 10-Minute Tofu Sour Cream is rich and creamy with a subtle hint of sweet and sour. It’s a delicious, vegan alternative to real sour cream..
