Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make classic thick sour cream? To prepare a delicious sour cream you will need very few ingredients. This is sour cream, powdered sugar and just a little vanilla for flavor. Use sour cream with a fat content of at least 25%. Less fatty ones will not fluff up at all and will be liquid. If the fat content of sour cream is 25%, then you can add a little cream thickener to the cream. But sour cream with a higher fat content is whipped wonderfully until thick.

Step 2

Step 2
The bowl and whisk for whipping the cream and the sour cream itself must be chilled. Place the required amount of sour cream into the bowl. I have sour cream with 30% fat content. As you can see from the photo, it is quite thick.

Step 3

Step 3
Start whipping the sour cream at low speed and gradually add powdered sugar and a pinch of vanillin. Then turn the mixer on full power. Initially, it will seem that the sour cream has become liquid. But with maximum whisking, it will very soon begin to thicken.

Step 4

Step 4
The finished sour cream is fluffy and stable. Its readiness is determined by the fact that it does not spread throughout the bowl.

Step 5

Step 5
This sour cream is perfect for layering sponge cake. Soak the kori a little with any syrup and layer with cream.

Step 6

Step 6
Cover the assembled cake with cream on all sides and put it in the refrigerator for several hours. The cream should harden and soak the cakes. You can decorate the cake with this cream to your taste. Cook with pleasure!
