Making your own sour cream is a fun way to get more beneficial probiotics into your diet. The best part is getting to use it in recipes! Here is a sour cream ice cream recipe you can use with your homemade sour cream.

You can substitute sour cream for regular cream in most ice cream recipes. You may want to adjust the sweetener in the recipe depending on how sweet your taste buds prefer.

I prefer to use less sweetener, and bring out other flavors instead, but you can always sweeten to taste.

Making your own ice cream is very easy, but it does taste different than store bought ice cream. In fact, depending on what products you are buying, you may not even be buying ice “cream” at all. Many frozen dairy desserts are made to look like ice cream but contain a lot of whipped air and not much actual cream.

The best ice creams have just the right ratio of butterfat to get a creamy, delicious mouth feel, but without leaving an unpleasant residual gritty feeling in the mouth. I’ve found that making ice cream with sour cream tends to have a better mouth feel than heavy whipping cream.

Once you perfect a basic vanilla ice cream recipe it opens up so many options for different flavors!  This vanilla ice cream is my favorite with homemade strawberry sauce or chocolate sauce on top, but you could also add any flavorings you wanted to it!
