Salt, optional

Instructions for Homemade Sour Cream Recipe

To begin making the Homemade Sour Cream Recipe, keep all the ingredients ready.

In a small bowl or jar, pour the heavy cream and milk. Add the lemon juice and stir gently to combine.

Cover the bowl or jar with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12-24 or 48 hours, allowing it to thicken. The cream will gradually develop a tangy flavor.

After the sour cream has thickened, give it a stir. If desired, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Transfer the homemade sour cream to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If you prefer a thicker sour cream, let it sit closer to 48 hours before refrigerating.

Enjoy your homemade sour cream with baked potatoes, tacos, soups, or as a base for dips!

Serve chilled.
