Crema Mexicana

This is used in Mexican cooking - I like it as a very rich sauce for enchiladas.

• Ready In: 4 hrs 10 mins
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1  cup heavy whipping cream
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream

Directions

1. Heat the cream on the stovetop until slightly warmer than room temperature. (about 100 degrees with a thermometer).
2. Remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
3. Pour into a glass jar. Place the lid on top of the jar but don't tighten it. Put the jar in a warm room for at least 4 but up to 12 hours. It will be thickened and you can use it then (especially if using as a sauce in a dish such as enchiladas), or refrigerate for another 4 to 12 hours to thicken even more.
