You can’t have a piping-hot bowl of chili or a crispy baked sweet potato without topping it off with a dollop of sour cream. But sour cream is packed with unhealthy dairy fats and proteins. This dairy-free Paleo sour cream recipe means you can have it all!
Sour cream is used to help thicken soups or sauces, and adds a creamy texture and a tangy flavor that matches well with savory dishes. We swap out the heavy cream and other traditional dairy products with coconut cream. By using a non-dairy cream, most people will avoid getting a stomachache as they would after having store-bought sour cream.
This sour cream pairs perfectly with many of our Paleo dishes:
Tips:
- If you’d like it more sour, increase the amount of lemon juice.
- Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
