🥛 Sour Cream

Sour Cream

🍽 Serves ⏲ Total Time
8 24.00 hours

🧂 Ingredients

  • 🥛 1 cup (227 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 🍊 2 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 🥛 ¼ cup (57 g) whole milk

🍳 Cookware

  • 🥤 1 measuring cup
  • 🥣 1 mason jar

📝 Instructions

Step 1

Measure out the heavy whipping cream in a glass measuring cup. Add the lemon juice or white vinegar, then stir together. Stir in the whole milk.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a mason jar, and cover it with a cheesecloth or paper towel. Secure the cloth with a rubber band or tie a piece of twine around it so it has a tight seal and stays in place. Leave the jar on the counter at room temperature for 24 hours.

Step 3

After 24 hours, the cream and milk will have thickened (though it might be thinner in consistency than store-bought sour cream). You can use the homemade sour cream immediately or chill it first to help it thicken up more. If chilling it, remove the cloth and add a tight fitting lid to the jar to keep the sour cream from drying out.
