Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

800 g sour cream (25%)
0.5 - 1 glass sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Preparation Time

Total time: 15 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

Gather all ingredients and ensure everything is at room temperature to mix seamlessly.
Place sour cream into a large mixing bowl to provide ample space for whipping.
Add sugar gradually, starting with half a glass. Taste and adjust sweetness to your preference.
Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend the sugar until it dissolves completely into the sour cream.
Once mixed, increase speed to medium-high to introduce air, giving a fluffy texture.
Continue whipping for about 15 minutes total. The mixture should thicken and have a smooth consistency.
Slowly incorporate vanilla sugar, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add lemon juice for a refreshing zing, folding it gently with a spatula.
Taste the mixture, adjusting any additional lemon or sugar if necessary according to preference.
Find the right consistency: creamy but able to form soft peaks.
Scoop into serving dishes or glasses for an elegant presentation.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes if a cooler dessert is desired.
Top with garnishes such as fresh mint leaves or grated lemon zest before serving.
If preferred, layer with fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas in the serving dishes for added flavor.
For more texture, consider adding crumbled cookies or nuts on top.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge, ensuring it's covered to prevent drying.
Perfect as a quick dessert option for unexpected guests or last-minute treats.
Cleanup is minimal with this straightforward recipe, allowing more time to enjoy.
Experiment with flavors: try a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder for variety.
The indulgent creaminess makes it a versatile base for many other desserts!
