Ingredients

Main Ingredient

  • sour cream

Optional Flavorings

  • onion slices

Directions

Prepare the Cream Cheese

1.

Place sour cream in a cheesecloth, tie closed, and hang over a bowl or basin overnight. (Hanging from the kitchen sink faucet is the typical way to do this.)

2.

In the morning, transfer the hardened cheese to a container. Combine with salt, scallions, garlic powder, onion slices, or any combination of desired flavorings. 

Variation:

For a more frugal alternative, try making this with homemade yogurt. It’ll be slightly more tart, but is otherwise very similarly flavored.
