Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, lemon juice (or vinegar), and salt.

    Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Let it Sit

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit at room temperature for about 24 hours. This allows the mixture to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.
