Creamy Dairy Free Coconut Sour Cream – for when you just can’t go without that sour cream flavor! (Whole30/Paleo/Vegan)
This Creamy Dairy Free Coconut Sour Cream is the perfect addition to your fridge! Light, creamy and Whole30 compliant!
Let’s face it, sometimes you just need a dollop of a little sour cream – I am thinking of you baked potato! But, being dairy-free, there aren’t TOO many options out there and even less that are also Whole30 compliant. So, I thought I would do a little experimentation with some lemon juice (for the sourness) and some coconut cream (for the creaminess). I was blown away – this simple little mixture is going to come in handy!
Now, let’s be real, it is made with coconut cream so there is going to be an underlying hint of coconut – It’s not overwhelming by any means, but I don’t want you all thinking this tastes the EXACT same as a container of real sour cream – but hey, it is pretty darn close, its delicious and is made with real food/real ingredients (that are dairy-free).

How long will this stay in the fridge? Thanks!
Can this vegan sour cream be used in baking a key lime pie? I have vegan sweetened condensed milk but also need sour cream.
Hi, Kathleen! I honestly have never tried it in a pie before! Let me know if you do and how it turns out!
Can I use lime instead of lemon juice in this recipe?
Good Question, Irene! So the lime juice is acidic, just like the lemon juice, which will help make the coconut cream taste “sour” like real sour cream, BUT you will most likely have a lime taste in there that might not be as pleasant or palatable as the lemon flavor. So yes, you can use lime juice in a pinch, but I would recommend using lemon if at all possible!
