Crema w/ Sour Cream, Heavy Whipping Cream, & Lime
This Crema recipe consists of 3 simple ingredients. Just stir sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and freshly squeezed lime juice together and let sit at room temperature for a couple of hours.
Equipment
- Bowl
- Fork or Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 c. sour cream
- 1 c. heavy whipping cream
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together. Make sure that there aren't any chunks of sour cream remaining. But this isn't rocket science. Really, just mix and set aside!
- Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours and then serve or refrigerate.The citrus in the lime juice will keep the crema from going bad. Just make sure to refrigerate it after a couple of hours. You're looking for it to be a little bit sour, but not spoiled because it will eventually go bad!
Tips, Tricks, & Notes
- You can mix around a little bit with the ratio of sour cream-to-whipping cream. The one-to-one ratio will be a little bit more on the liquid side. I've definitely had crema that's less of a liquid. You can add a higher ratio of sour cream-to-heavy whipping cream if you want it to be a little bit thicker.
