Ingredients
Scale
2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoon buttermilk
Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe container for 60 seconds.
- Mix the buttermilk and sour cream in a glass mixing bowl
- Pour the warmed heavy cream slowly into the bowl with sour cream and butter milk while stirring or whisking to make sure everything is combined and the cream mixture will start to thicken.
- Cover loosely with a lit or plastic, you do not want it to be airtight as the mixture needs to breathe. Store in a warm place (about 80 degrees) like over your fridge, by the stove, or outside.
- Allow the crema to rest for 4-6 hours so that the mixture can thicken. The mixture will still be pourable and will not be as thick as sour cream or yogurt. Some recipes do not use sour cream and as a result require a longer rest time. This recipe is designed to be able to be used that same day.
- After you have let it rest feel free to add any additional flavorings and then store in the fridge in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
