Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Mix

    Whisk the mixture vigorously until it's well blended.

  3. 3

    Let it Sit

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

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    After 24 hours, stir the mixture and transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using. The sour cream can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
