Questions about Light sour cream
How do you stop light sour cream splitting in a hot sauce?
Take the pan off the heat and let it stop bubbling before stirring in the sour cream. If the sauce is very hot, mix a spoonful of it into the sour cream first, then stir that mixture back into the pan; avoid boiling the sauce afterwards.
Can you use light sour cream in baking?
Yes, it works in cakes and muffins, but its lower fat content can make the result less tender than one made with full-fat sour cream. Use the same amount, and avoid overmixing once you add it.
What do you serve light sour cream with?
Spoon it over baked potatoes, chilli or tacos, or stir it into a dip with chopped chives, lemon juice and black pepper. For a baked potato topping, add it after baking so it stays cool and creamy.
Can you use plain yoghurt instead of light sour cream?
Yes: use the same amount of thick plain yoghurt in dips, dressings or as a topping. It tastes tangier and is more likely to split in a hot dish, so stir it in off the heat.
How should you store light sour cream after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the use-by date and discard it if you see mould or notice an unusual smell; freezing can make it grainy when thawed.
How is light sour cream different from regular sour cream?
Light sour cream has less fat and a milder, less rich texture than regular sour cream. It can be used in the same toppings and dips, but regular sour cream is more forgiving in hot sauces.
