This method of making a white piping mixture is much easier and quicker than whipping heavy cream and because such a small amount is eaten, the flavor of the sour cream is not noticeable. Instructions for using sour cream mixture in decorating are given.

Ingredients

  • Heavy cream
  • Sour cream

Method

  1. Gradually stir enough heavy cream into sour cream until the mixture is approximately the same consistency as that of the sauce you are decorating.
  2. Use as directed in the individual recipe. This mixture will keep for several days in the refrigerator, but it may need to be thinned with additional cream.
