At first I followed the exact measurement and the heavy cream didn't thicken. Kept squeezing more lemon juice, about half a large lemon and it worked! it tastes so darned good! better than store bought sour cream. I'm using this to make your creamy cilantro dressing. Thank you for your recipes!

I realized too late that I had ultra pasteurized heavy cream, but being a stubborn person I wanted to make it work. As others have said it will not work the normal way if ultra pasteurized. I added 5 tsp lemon juice to the 1 cup of cream and IT WORKED!!!! I needed it for potato soup and am excited I don't have to run to the store with it snowing outside.

+Angela griffin Thank you so much Angela! I am very happy this worked for you. I really appreciate you letting me know.

Thanks so much for this! I kept looking online to find a sour cream recipe but each recipe said to wait 24 hours and I don’t have that time, so this was incredibly helpful! ❤

@Thefrugalchef 7 месяцев назад

Perfect! Thanks so much for watching!

@lindyburnett8920 9 лет назад

It wasn't thickening for me so I got our my KitchenAid mixer with the whipping attachment. Put it on #6 for a minute or so and that did the trick! Tastes great! Thanks so much!

Lindy Burnett Awesome! Thank you Lindy!

@marinalex4702 4 года назад

Thank you so much! Couldn’t find any other instant recipes for sour cream so I’m very happy I found this one 😊

I'm glad you could have some restful time off from RU-vid, but I have missed you. It's so good to see you back and I'm looking forward to your new recipes.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Thanks! I appreciate you stopping by.

@chereljohnson6190 8 лет назад

I just tried this minutes ago and I must admit it does work. I could have use less heavy cream, but yes indeed. I had to use almost 6 teaspoons of lemon juice from the bottle but kept the salt input the same and after whipping several minutes and my husband joining in it WORKED!!!!!. THANKS BECAUSE I SAVE A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE AND WERE HAVING LOADED BAKE POTATOES.

@Thefrugalchef 8 лет назад

My pleasure! Thank you for trying it out!

Cherel Johnson it only took me about 3 teaspoons . But at the same time im not a big fan of sour cream so i don't really know what it should taste like

@josieg1341 2 года назад

You are my taco hero. I thought I was stuck without sour cream for my tacos and found your recipe mixed in with all these 24hour recipes, and honestly I was a little skeptical about how it would come out. It was delicious, I am going to subscribe and check out some more of your videos. Thank you.

@Thefrugalchef 2 года назад

Yay! Thank you Josie! I am so happy this worked for you. Welcome to my channel 😊

@JeannetteMartin-pt5mn 6 месяцев назад

You are a genius. I always had sour cream on hand and went to make a recipe and no sour cream! So I Googled and you came up! Your plan worked marvelously and I plan to use it often. Thank you!

Whitw vinegar works. I used about 2 tbsp for 1/2 cup of cream though. Thanks for the tip!

@Thefrugalchef 8 лет назад

Perfect! Thank you for letting me know!

@deganzot4320 5 месяцев назад

Sour cream is costly in my country. And I googled and your recipe came up. Thank you, now I can try to make it for my cakes. Thank you so much ❤

@Thefrugalchef 5 месяцев назад

My pleasure 😊 I hope it works well for you.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Sorry for the delay Shelby! I have been traveling. I have found that the thicker the cream I use the better this comes out. Perhaps you can use a heavier cream next time? If not, I also found that if you refrigerate it for a couple hours the cream will thicken up. Thank you so much for stopping by!

@wendyhijar877 5 лет назад

Awesome!!! It totally worked, saved my dinner!!! Forgot the sour cream but I had the 35 % cooking cream and lemon, thank you very much!!!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Awesome Cacille! I hope this works for you. I love this. Remember that you might have to add a little more juice, or whisk a little more to get the consistency you want. Some people have said they refrigerate it for a while and it gets to where they want it as well. Take care!

@cocinafrugalista 11 лет назад

We used to get it in Bolivia - it is called Nata over there. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for stopping by!

Living in Japan, and I have no access to sour cream without going to expensive and inconvenient specialty markets. I love Japanese food, but tacos with sour cream are a must for me! Thanks for saving taco night!

My pleasure!! Hoped it worked for you. This is kind of hit or miss depending in the cream. Thanks for watching the video!

@barbaradeselle9087 2 года назад

Didn’t stiffen up like you demonstrated. Added another teaspoon distilled vinegar, still liquid, added almost a tablespoon of lime juice and brought out the electric mixer. Finally, stiffened up and had a tangy taste. Will use it for now but think I will stick with store bought sour cream. Enjoyed your video, anyway,

@Thefrugalchef 2 года назад

Thanks Barbara! I agree with you. If you can find it at the store it is much easier. I made this video in Vanuatu and there was no sour cream to be found at the time. 😊

@jenntking1424 2 года назад

Ive got it in my stand mixer, added lots of lemon and lime juice, and some heavy cream. It's just as liquid as when I started 10 minutes ago. She's just thrilled collecting money from the comments and promoting her channel.

@Cathy20440 10 лет назад

Great thank you! I just realized I haven't sour cream in the fridge for a recipe I want to cook for dinner tonight and don't have time to go to the shops this is excellent a great tip! :)

@TheLegacyOfKaizer 9 лет назад

Insanely fast and simple!

@Thefrugalchef 9 лет назад

The Legacy Of Kaizer Thanks!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

I am sure that will be fine. I have only used lemon juice but I think the vinegar would work. Thank you for watching!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Yes! I am happy this helps! It is extremely HOT over here so I do not know which is better! You dry up from the shower and are immediately soaked in sweat! Thank you for stopping by and stay warm!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Yes! Thanks for stopping by!

@Arkiegirl72638 11 лет назад

I was out of sour cream for my potato pancakes...I live 35 miles from the nearest store...OH NO! The Frugal Chef to the rescue...I had fresh lemons, I had cream from my neighbors cows...I was getting ready to make cheese. It can't be that easy and good...IT WAS. I am now a fan and will keep you in my favorites. This country girl thanks you and will be trying many more of your recipes.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching. I am happy you like these.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Haha! No problem! I figured as much. Have a great weekend!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Oh I hope it works this time! Yes, whisk vigorously! And it might be that the Meyer lemon. I am jealous . . . I love Meyer lemons! Please let me know how it goes!

@themandigirl 11 лет назад

Thanks for the reply Mary Ann! I will try this again. I used heavy whipping cream with a meyer lemon. These lemons are a little sweeter, so maybe they're not acidic enough? Also the cream said ultra pasteurized, if that makes any difference. I love this idea, and so I'm buying more cream today and I'll use a regular lemon. Maybe I needed to whisk faster. I was just stirring it with the whisk. I'll let you know! Love your videos!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Thank you! I appreciate your support.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

@Canadaheather 11 лет назад

Wow- LoL that is so easy. I hate buying sour cream because it tends to go bad before we use it; we tend to have cream on hand because we make a lot of soups. Thanks so much for this. I love your videos and I'm envious of how sunny and green it is there- I live in northern British Columbia Canada and it's snowy and cold here. :)

@team-delossantos4282 2 года назад

@themandigirl 11 лет назад

I needed sour cream tonight. I had some whipping cream & lemons so I gave this a try. I used exactly 1 C. of cream with 1 tsp fresh lemon juice. It didn't work. It thickened a little, but nowhere near as thick as yours. I added more lemon juice & it still did not thicken up like yours.It was the consistency of a dip. I expected it to thicken up before my eyes while whisking like yours did. It thickened more in the refrigerator and I was able to use it, but I wonder why it didn't work like yours?

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Que bien Marilu! Me encanta que esto ayude! Que estes muy bien!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Hey there! The thing is, many people -- myself included -- can not find sour cream at the store. So, this is a great way to fill that gap when it is needed! I should of been clearer in my introduction! Thank you so much for stopping by!

@atlan61 11 лет назад

oh Wow. Sour (lemon/ lime) Cream. Gurrr!! and I,ve gone to the super market and bought it when I could of just made it myself? You are a GENIUS!!!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Yes! Yum! Thank you for stopping by and happy 2013 to you too! I hope you have a wonderful year!

@tahoe7779 6 лет назад

Wasn't that more like a tablespoon of lemon juice?😆 It looks amazing! Thank you for this recipe!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Hey there! Yes, baked potato as @azncutie246 stated. Sour cream is also used in desserts (cheese cake for example), breads, dips, soups and Mexican food. Thanks for watching!

@bubbanorth5558 6 лет назад

I did not know anything about whipping cream so I thought it would only take a few seconds, just like your video shows...much to my surprise and sore arm, it took about 6 or 7 minutes of constant whisking! Lesson learned.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Thank you! I hope you have a great 2013! Thanks for stopping by!

@DemocracyDecoded 3 года назад

Mine was thin, i used 35 percent cream, so i had to add regular 2 percent yogurt and that actually made it taste EXACTLY like sour cream, we were actually amazed. So to make your way better, add in curd yogurt.

@Thefrugalchef 3 года назад

Great tip! Thanks!

@lindagiovannazambanini6218 9 лет назад

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Awesome! I hope it comes out perfect for you! Thanks!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

This is not meant to last. It will separate after a day. As for sour milk, I assume that is butter cream, I have a video on how to make that - 1 TBS vinegar or lemon juice per 1 cup whole milk. Thank you!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Yay! I hope it comes out perfect for you! Gracias Elbita bella!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

I guess it would be fine. The only way to know is to give it a try. Thank you for watching.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Awesome! I hope it comes out wonderful for you!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Thank you! I love this method as it allows me to have sour cream in countries I can not find it.

Can I use this in cheese cake for the substitute if I couldn't find in the supermarket? Thank you so much you saved my life today😊❤️😘

@lnytita6763 10 месяцев назад

Aloha! The sour cream (actually, all the groceries) where I live is crazy expensive. Thank you/Mahalo for the frugal recipe...I'm a fan of being frugal. Much Appreciated and just in time for some holiday cooking/baking 🤙

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Ha ha! Yay! I am so happy it worked for you! Thanks for watching!

@lynnp7658 11 лет назад

I found a recipe for homemade sour cream in a cooking blog, it lets the lemon juice stand on the cream for 15mins without stirring. It didn't turn out the way I wanted cause it wasn't thick enough, I found out that your technique is better and easy to make. Thanks for this vid, I'm subscribing from now on. :-)

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

I am sorry this did not work for you. Clearly, it works. I showed you. Thanks for giving it a try.

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

This is aimed for people who can not find sour cream where they live, not as a replacement for the one at the store. I, for example, can not find sour cream in Vanuatu where I live. Thank you for stopping by.

@altrogeruvah 10 лет назад

Fantastic! They don't sell sour cream where I'm from, so this is super helpful, thank you so much!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

@Cacille 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for this recipe. I am stuck in South Korea (in my second year now) and won't be returning home until Christmas. Problem is, I miss sour cream so badly and the only sour cream here is REALLY sour - it's called Denmark sour cream and omg, I hate it (and I have to go to a large city to get it). Whipping cream has just become available in my small town and lemons are easy to get so I can't wait to make my own with this easy recipe!

@Thefrugalchef 11 лет назад

Haha. You made me blush! Thank you Kenny! I hope you have a fabulous 2013! Here's to a year full of delish food! Take care and thanks for watching!

@michaelhudecek2778 10 лет назад

You are wonderful and bubbly which I love. Nice recipe. To me it looked like you put about a tablespoon of lemon juice though and not a teaspoon. Have to try this! Thanks! Michael

@darkmidknight1013 6 лет назад

This took me about 3 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to get it but in the end i think i did it right , thanks.

@Losttoanyreason 6 лет назад

Nice! A lot of people are harping on this not being sour cream. Well duuuh, no kidding ! She didn't say it made real sour cream . It is a substitute for when you don't have the real deal and don't want to run to the store. This is no more sour cream than adding vinegar to milk makes it buttermilk . They both will work as decent quick substitutes though. For those having issue getting it thick , it's whipping cream, whip it.

@Charity3077 10 лет назад

I tried this. It did not work. 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. whipped and whipped and whipped it never got thicker than butter milk. In the video it took seconds for yours to get thick.
