Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (226g) sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients. Zest the lime and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Add the sour cream and salt.
  • Whisk together and serve. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and the crema reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

Notes

  • Taste and Adjust: After making the crema, taste it and adjust the lime juice, salt, or any other additions to your preference. You might want it more or less tangy.
  • Adjust Consistency: If your crema is too thick, you can thin it out with a tiny splash of water or heavy cream. Add liquid gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
