Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) sour cream (store-bought, as a starter culture)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, white vinegar or lemon juice, and starter sour cream.
  2. Use a whisk or spoon to mix the ingredients until they are well blended and slightly thickened.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 12 hours (or overnight) to ferment.
  4. After fermentation, give the mixture a good stir, taste for salt, and adjust accordingly. Transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  5. Enjoy your creamy homemade sour cream on your favorite dishes or store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
