Sour Cream Recipe

Here you'll find a very easy and delicious Homemade Sour Cream recipe! Well, it's one recipe with 3 different versions! Pick your favorite and enjoy!

I know many of you guys buy sour cream at the grocery store and you probably have different brands to choose from. But that's not the case here in Brazil. So what's the solution? Make our own! Thankfully that's not a problem because we have come up with the perfect homemade sour cream recipe 😉

This recipe for sour cream has 3 versions and I'll show them all!

Ingredients

• For version 1 you'll will need heavy cream and lime juice.
• For version 2 you'll need heavy cream, plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt) and lime juice.
• And for version 3 you'll need plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt) and lime juice.

How to make sour cream

• For versions 1 and 2 you will place ingredients in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
• For version 3 you will only mix the 2 ingredients. Whipping won't change the consistency.

Veredict

• In our opinion version 2 will give you the best sour cream substitute!
• Use version 3 only if you need a sour cream with reduced calories. This version will be runny and won't taste as good.
