The Delicious Mexican Cream


This is a recipe that comes to us from Europe... from all over Europe are the French the ones that use it the most in their cuisine but that was about to change when it reached Mexico because it is used a lot in almost all the Mexican cuisine you will see it in enchiladas , soups , desserts, salsas , dips , garnishing dishes, etc.

What is very important to clarify, is that this is not the sour cream that the whole world knows, this type of cream is different because its flavor is more neutral and is very creamy . The Mexican cream is very easy to get at the supermarket but possibly you have the curiosity of trying it when it is prepared at home – we guarantee you that the flavor is much better.
