Recipe Notes:
- Mexican crema is a versatile condiment, similar to sour cream but with a richer, tangier flavor. It adds a luscious creaminess to dishes and is commonly used as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, and soups.
- This recipe requires a longer preparation time due to the fermentation process, which enhances the flavor and texture of the crema.
- While the crema can be stored for up to a week, it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal taste and quality.
- Experiment with different variations by adding herbs or spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt, although the texture and taste may vary slightly.
