Sour cream is an integral component of this recipe, adding both tart flavor and thickening the cream cheese. Although you can purchase it from stores, homemade versions are more cost-effective – all it requires is one cup of low-fat cream mixed with some type of fermenting agent!

Next, beat together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth in a mixing bowl before folding in sugar and vanilla extract. It can be stored for three days in the refrigerator, but for optimal results serve it immediately; avoid plastic containers as these could leach chemicals into food.

Vanilla is an indispensable ingredient in many delicious dishes, from sweet breads to hearty stews. Its rich aroma can elevate even the simplest dishes, adding depth of flavor that really stands out. Vanilla also boasts many health benefits: vanillin has been shown in test tube studies to possess anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
