Cashew Cream Topping

This cashew cream topping is smooth & silky; it is the perfect accent for tacos, nachos, mashed potatoes, & whatever else ones heart desires.  It is a fun recipe to be creative with! The good thing about the ingredients are that they are very healthy, & you know exactly what is going into the final product.  Although it only tastes slightly similar to sour cream, it is a great healthy dupe!

I must say that I did not create this recipe – I have modified it.  These ingredients are the best combination I have found for this recipe.  I have seen this on many other blogs titled as, “Cashew Sour Cream”.  Although many blogs claim that this tastes like sour cream, I must say that although having a similar texture, the taste is different.  With this said, I do think that it is extremely delicious in its own way, & it accents the same types of foods that sour cream does.

Hope you enjoy!

Maybe it’s the Irish in me, but I probably eat some sort of potato product at lease once every other day.  Whether smashed, baked, or fried, there is something about the starchy goodness that just leaves your stomach feeling warm and satisfied.  I am all about comfort foods, and chunky mashed potatoes are one of my favorites.

Growing up, my favorite part of mashed potatoes was the sour cream topping.  Although these mashed potatoes are vegan, adding a cashew sour cream topping can really dress up this side dish.

I hope you enjoy this recipe.  Let me know what you think in the comments & don’t be afraid to share! (:
