Easy Homemade Sour Cream
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream 360g
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/3 cup of whole milk 80g
- 2 tablespoons of Greek or full-fat plain yogurt
Instructions
- In a large mason jar or bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Cover the jar or bowl with cheesecloth or a paper towel, and secure it with a rubber band or tape. It’s important to allow air to circulate, so avoid using a lid.
- Leave the container at room temperature for 24 hours to allow it to ferment and transform into sour cream.
- The next day, remove the paper towel or cheesecloth and give the sour cream a good stir. It should be thick and ready to use!
- Once refrigerated, the sour cream will thicken further, resembling store-bought sour cream.
- Store the sour cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Feel free to double or triple the recipe based on your sour cream needs.
- Enjoy your homemade sour cream in all your favorite recipes!
