Homemade Sour Cream Recipe

Steps

1. 1To begin making the Homemade Sour Cream Recipe, keep all the ingredients ready.
2. 2In a small bowl or jar, pour the heavy cream and milk. Add the lemon juice and stir gently to combine.
3. 3Cover the bowl or jar with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12-24 or 48 hours, allowing it to thicken. The cream will gradually develop a tangy flavor.
4. 4After the sour cream has thickened, give it a stir. If desired, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Transfer the homemade sour cream to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
5. 5If you prefer a thicker sour cream, let it sit closer to 48 hours before refrigerating.
6. 6Enjoy your homemade sour cream with baked potatoes, tacos, soups, or as a base for dips!
7. 7Serve chilled.
8. 8Serve Homemade Sour Cream Recipe over Veggie Loaded Nachos Recipe, or along with some appetizers like Peri Peri Fish Fingers or Tandoori Potato Wedges.
