Tangy Latin Crema

A creamy, tangy topping made by culturing cream with fermented dairy. Uses heavy cream, Greek yogurt replacing sour cream, and kefir instead of buttermilk. Warm gently to activate cultures, then sit covered but breathable to thicken. Flavor options include smoked paprika, fresh herbs, and citrus zest. Avoid overheating beyond 95°F to prevent culture die-off. Develops a rich texture with subtle tartness and a hint of earthiness if herbs added. Perfect for drizzling on tacos, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. Culturing times flex; watch texture not clock. Simple, versatile, homemade alternative to store-bought crema mexicana.
