I’m new to cooking and would like to know if I can
substitute sour cream when a recipe calls for heavy whipping cream? –Ella H.
I almost always have sour cream in the fridge, but seldom
do I have heavy whipping cream. So if I
want to make a recipe that calls for whipping cream and I don’t feel like going
to the store to get some, I will use sour cream. But I’ve learned to be cautious.
If I add sour cream to a soup or a sauce and then bring
the mixture to a boil, the sour cream will separate—not an attractive sight--so
don’t do that. And don’t substitute sour
cream if you are making a creamy dessert.
Otherwise, go for it.
Experimenting is a good way to learn to cook.
