Heavy Cream: The foundation of this sour cream recipe, heavy cream provides the rich, creamy texture that makes sour cream so luscious. It’s important to use fresh, high-quality cream for the best results. Yogurt: The yogurt introduces live bacterial cultures that help ferment the cream, giving the sour cream its characteristic tangy flavor. Choose a plain yogurt without added flavors or sweeteners to ensure a pure taste. Champagne Vinegar, White Wine Vinegar, or Lemon Juice: The acid not only enhances the tanginess but also helps thicken the cream as it ferments.
Taco Topper: Dollop it onto tacos for a cooling contrast to spicy fillings. Baked Potatoes: Spoon over baked potatoes and sprinkle with chives for a classic side dish. Salad Dressing Base: Mix with herbs and spices to create a creamy salad dressing. Soup Swirl: Add a swirl of sour cream to soups like tomato soup or chili for added richness. Dip for Veggies: Combine with onion soup mix or fresh herbs for an easy veggie dip. Cake Ingredient: Use in cakes and muffins to add moisture and a slight tang.
