Strawberries and "Sour Cream"

Strawberries mixed with sour cream and sugar is a dessert my dad used to make when I was growing up. I always assumed it was a Ukrainian dish, but I think that it is just a dad specialty. I loved it because my dad was always so excited to make and eat it. And it tasted yum, too!

I decided to use some leftover cashew sour cream I had made for nachos on New Year's Eve to make a vegan version. 

The nostalgia probably made me enjoy this even more, but I really liked it in its own right. I mean, anything sweet and creamy combined with strawberries, how can it not taste nice? It was lovely and refreshing during Sydney's hot weather. 

It tasted quite different to my childhood memories of the dish, but in a good way. The sour cream tasted a lot like sweet ricotta. I'd like to try this sweetened sour cream for other desserts too.

Nostalgia aside, I recommend this for a simple and healthy dessert!
