Description
Want to know how to make sour cream (plus substitutes!)? This recipe is super easy to prep—just mix 2 ingredients together today, and it’ll be ready for tomorrow’s taco night. Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours, and by the next day, you’ll have a perfectly tangy, creamy sour cream substitute ready to go.
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
EQUIPMENT
glass jar
elastic band
paper towel
Instructions
Pour the heavy cream into a clean glass jar.
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
Seal the jar with its lid and give it a good shake to combine.
Remove the lid, then cover the jar with a paper towel or cheesecloth and secure it with an elastic band. This lets the mixture breathe while it develops.
Leave it at room temperature for about 24 hours.
After 24 hours, it should be slightly thickened and tangy. Give it a stir and store in the fridge. It will thicken more as it chills.
Notes
It will last for up to two weeks in the fridge.
