Description
Cashew lime crema is a creamy, tangy, and easy dairy-free sauce perfect for tacos, burrito bowls, and soups. The recipe uses a few simple ingredients and is a great vegan alternative to sour cream and Mexican Crema.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (70 grams) raw cashews, soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Pinch of salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
Notes
You may not need to soak the cashews if you have a high-speed blender, but soaking does create a smoother sauce.
Otherwise, soak the raw cashews overnight or add the cashews to a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for about 20 minutes.
