How To Make Sour Cream

If you've run out of sour cream and don't want to run to the store for more—you can make it at home with just two ingredients: heavy cream and vinegar!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup heavy cream $1.40
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar $0.02

Instructions

  1. Add the cream to a mason jar or other airtight container.
  2. Add the vinegar to the cream. (Or whatever acid you decide to work with.)
  3. Close the container and shake it for a minute or two, until the cream thickens.
  4. Use the cream right away or leave the jar on your counter overnight to ferment and thicken.*

Notes

  • *Leave it out on your counter overnight if you want tangier, thicker sour cream. I usually shake it and pop it in the fridge, where it will thicken in a few hours.
