What he brought me was a massive bowl of blueberries completely smothered in sour cream. Uhhhhh...? I remember looking up at him as he handed it to me, thinking this had to be a joke?! He just smiled back and told me to try it.
I shrugged and went in for the first bite. Wow! It was some seriously good stuff and I've been addicted ever since. If we have blueberries on hand, we better have a tub of sour cream, too!
Now, I know what you're thinking - "sour cream!?" But this isn't sour cream in its natural form, it's sweetened and trust me, it completely changes the taste and the texture.
1/4 cup sour cream (we favor Breakstone's because it is whey-free and very thick)
1-2 tsp sugar, to taste
1/2 cup blueberries
In a small bowl mix the sour cream and sugar together until it is well incorporated. Johnny prefers his a little more tart, while I add a bit more sugar. Stir well and the sour cream will become silky smooth, changing consistency. Taste for desired sweetness and you won't believe that it's still sour cream! Fold in the fresh blueberries and enjoy!!
Hmm...I've never seen a sweet treat like this one! I just might have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love all things blueberry. You got my mouth watering.
ReplyDeletewell in cold northern regions they sweeten lard and call it ice cream so this is actually a step up - I would try it and probably like it.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought to use sour cream for something sweet. Usually I use it for savory things... That is an amazing idea. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, when you said blueberries and sour cream, I was thinking, a small dollop of sour cream, like whipped cream on top of blueberries. And then I see THAT. Wow, that was totally unexpected. But I gotta try it!
ReplyDelete(Have you tried sour cream with scrambled eggs?! So good!)
Much too fat to indulge in such a treat. Someday I will! Someday!
ReplyDeleteYou must come to blogher food!!
huh, I haven't see that combo before, but never say never!
ReplyDeleteI've seen your blog pop up twice in the last two days, so I had to drop by and give it a read, great blog!
This isn't that much different from the berries I pop into my greek yogurt ... I'll bet its delicious!
ReplyDeletefresh and easy!! : )
ReplyDeletelooks delish and the perfect way to get sweet stuff in without going overboard..
oh thanks for telling me about the recipe.. im a dope, i didnt even think of that! lol
This sounds so good! I am definitely a fan of sweet things like this.
ReplyDeleteMy father used to make this when I was a kid and I love it to this day! I wonder where it originated. He was born and raised in NYC as was I. Surprised almost no one on here has ever heard of it. It’s so good!
ReplyDeleteI was also raised in NYC & ate this as a child, as did my mom, she was born 1940s.
