Instead of buying store-bought sour cream, try making your own at home with our sour cream recipe. A versatile dip, you can use sour cream on your baked potatoes, sandwiches, vegetable platter and soup. The list goes on! This homemade sour cream recipe will produce a slightly runnier and thinner sour cream since it doesn’t contain any thickening agent. However, it will be the best sour cream you’ve ever tasted.
Add the heavy cream, milk, white vinegar, and lemon juice to a mixing bowl.
Blend it with a mixer until soft peaks begin to form.
Stir in a pinch of salt with a fork.
Store the mixture in a container with a lid.
Chill the sour cream for an hour.
Stir the sour cream before serving.
Storing Sour Cream
Store your sour cream in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. It can last for 5 to 7 days. You can also keep sour cream in the freezer, but it won’t retain its smooth texture. Once you defrost it, you’ll get a grainy texture – this is because the fats inside have separated from the liquid portion of the cream. However, you can use it for soups and baked goods. We recommend freezing the sour cream in silicone ice cubes. That way, it is individually portioned, and you can conveniently add it to your soup.
