Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a clean mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and then add the buttermilk. Ensure that the bowl is large enough to accommodate the mixing process.
Mix Well
Using a whisk or a hand mixer, mix the heavy cream and buttermilk together until they are well combined. You should see a slight thickening of the mixture.
Cover and Let Sit
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 12 to 24 hours. This will allow the mixture to ferment and thicken.
Check Consistency
After the resting period, check the sour cream's consistency. It should be thick and creamy. If it’s not thick enough, let it sit for a few more hours.
Chill and Store
Once the desired thickness is achieved, transfer the sour cream into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will be ready to use after chilling for at least 2 hours.
