Sour Cream Dip

View the Recipe

Customers praised this versatile powder for baking, cooking, and as a convenient shelf-stable alternative to fresh. Many said it tastes great in recipes, on popcorn, and in mashed potatoes. Some noted mixing challenges and prefer using a blender for smooth consistency. A few found the flavor differs from fresh, with occasional preserved aftertaste or sweetness, though most appreciate the long shelf life and reduced waste.

Confused…

I cannot understand the ratio to make it a cream. I’ve looked for more direction online, added more powder, and it’s pure liquid. Before I toss it out, can someone give me assistance? It’s a great premise but I am at a loss how to make it work. Thanks!

Sour Cream Tastes Good

Sour cream tastes good, this does not! So I didn't think this would taste as good as real sour cream but this was so bad I could not ear it. I had to throw it out. Gross!

Good for cooking or recipes not to mix and use plain

It’s grainy when you mix and put in the fridge. I used in a casserole and it was good.

Does not create original like sour cream

I was hoping that this item would have been more like real sour cream, but wasn’t.

Multiple uses

I like having this sour cream powder on hand to add to soups or to make sour cream for other uses. It has the tangy flavor I have come to expect from fresh but the benefit of being shelf stable and it doesn't mold if I forget about it. It does tend to have some lumps but they can be sifted and crushed. Sometimes there is a preserved after taste.

didn't taste like sour cream

Really dissapointed with this. I've had other products from Hoosier Hill and was impressed. This, not so much. Didn't taste much like sour cream at all.

Better if mixed with something, plain the flavor is a little strange

REally great to have on hand and for mixes. Quite often my sour cream goes bad, it's great to have a powder form for mixes and such. Flavor is a little strange if not mixed with something. good value considering how much sour cream i've wasted

Fun to experiment with!

I use it in baking and to make popcorn flavors. SC/dill is a favorite!

It's okay if you're gonna put it in a recipe

I'm sure it's what it's supposed to be , but it isn't what I thought it would be

Meh.

Does not thicken up like sour cream, but will work in a pinch.

Ok for pantry staple but take care in baking!

I bake a lot for my small b &b and scones are a staple of my menu baked with sour cream and sometimes I run out. This product is ok in a pinch but lacks the fat structure (I think) that the real stuff has. Scones were slightly drier than usual. Not great!

It’s okay

In a pinch this sour cream powder is okay but don’t expect this to taste or be like sour cream you buy in the store. I use it in cooking but again it doesn’t exactly taste like sour cream. It’s a good buy if you’re storing for doomsday scenarios though.

Not bad in a Stroganoff!

Canning a large batch of stroganoff, found that sour cream canning is tricky, tried the powdered sour cream, turned out almost like fresh!

T
Terri,
Not my favorite BUT I have read around other have great success with it.

Look for what can be done with it before you buy it. Not a lot of room for experimenting and creating something new.

Sour cream powder

It was hard to mix up, Use a blender if you want a well mixed product.It tasted great, was good on popcorn,and for making your own potato,kale,chips, smaller canester than i expected , my fault for not looking at the size. I would buy again.

use milk instead of water

I USE MILK INSTEAD OF WATER. MAKES IT TASTE MORE LIKE FRESH SOUR CREAM.

Timely delivery

The flavor is so so..would be ok in casseroles I think but I would prefer fresh on baked potatoes etc…

Works well for baking

So many baking recipes require sour cream, but it's not something I regularly keep in the house because it's not something I use otherwise. Although the powder smells awfully like sour dairy and the reconstituted sour cream is kind of grainy, it actually works out fine in baking recipes. So I'm happy to have this on hand for baking. Not sure how well I'd like it for dips -- the smell and texture are definitely not like fresh.

It's creamy texture.

It's flavor as I make it wasn't as true, but I like it done the less.

Very surprised how easy this is to use

I have used several times

This is great to mix in with potatoes and butter and a little cream. Mash the potatoes well first. I keep forgetting I have it. I have also made whipping cream with it.

I like it

I like this for out door uses where there is no fridge, and you want to have sour cream on your food. It mixes well just follow the instruction, and there are recipes on line. Its good for your pantry and your wallet. The functionality of its purpose its great, like on home made potato chips and popcorn. It saves you money on the quantity. The size is perfect for a family of four on a monthly budget. This brand is a good quality, I have many uses for it. The package works well in the pantry and it doesn't take up a lot of space and it seals well and its easy to open.

Great

I love using it with my personal seasonings but the taste alone is better then the sour creams you buy at the store

Good but there is better.

It's good but get the extra tangy one instead!
