Sour cream is a quite famous dipping sauce or spread for many dishes. Specially cheesecakes....I was thinking about making a eggless cheesecake recipe, i stumbled upon a great recipe, one of the key ingredient is sour cream. In my place i couldn't get it, so i decided to make my very own sour cream.
Similar Sauce Recipes,
And believe it or not, this is hardly mixing up cream and lemon juice together and leaving out for a whole day or 24 hours. So easy, the time does the magic. it ferments and make the cream go sour. You can use this any recipe which calls for sour cream..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation: 5 mins
Setting Time : 24 hours
Makes: 1 cup
Ingredients:
Cream / Whipping Cream or Fresh Cream - 1 cup
Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 pinch
Method:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. You have to put this out in a covered bowl for 24hours. Then put it in fridge.
This will stay good for 5 to 6 days.

Really appreciate your efforts. I grew up in Nagercoil and I am always surprised and stunned by your efforts to make each and every recipe especially with the ingredients you couldn't get there. All the best!!
