Preparation Instructions
- 1
Combine Ingredients
In a clean bowl, combine the heavy cream and buttermilk. Use a whisk or spatula to mix them together until they are well blended.
- 2
Cover and Let Sit
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. This allows the mixture to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.

Check Consistency
After the resting period, check the consistency of the mixture. It should be thick and creamy. If it’s not thick enough, let it sit for a few more hours.

Refrigerate
Once the sour cream reaches the desired thickness, stir it gently to smooth out the texture. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it. It will continue to thicken slightly as it chills.

Serve
Your homemade sour cream is now ready to use! It can be served with baked potatoes, tacos, or used as a base for dips and dressings.
