Crema Mexicana (Mexican Cream) Recipe 🇲🇽
Here’s a simple homemade version you can use for tacos, nachos, enchiladas, or drizzle on anything:
🥛 Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
2 tbsp buttermilk (or plain yogurt as substitute)
1 tsp lime juice (optional, for slight tang)
Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Method:
Pour the cream into a clean jar or bowl.
Add buttermilk and mix well.
Cover loosely and leave at room temperature for 12–24 hours (it will thicken slightly).
Once it has a mild tangy taste, stir in salt and lime juice.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.
❄️ Storage:
Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
💡 Tip:
The longer it sits, the thicker and more flavorful it becomes.
