Notes

  • To make homemade sour cream, add 4 teaspoons of lemon juice to 2 cups of heavy whipping cream in a mason jar or other dish. Add an additional 1/2 cup of whole milk and stir. Cover with a paper towel and secure with rubber band for a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 24 hours. Mix, remove and refrigerate. 
  • If you can’t make the homemade sour cream, I would recommend using heavy whipping cream instead of store-bought sour cream. Real sour cream tends to be different than store-bought. Get the full homemade sour cream recipe here.
  • Scalding cream and milk is something to watch for on this recipe. What does that mean? Stir your dairy to ensure it does not scald!
  • Our calorie count accounts for 1 tbsp of melted butter and 1 tbsp sugar for the topping, per serving
