Sour cream glaze

Cookinero 30 Dec 2025

Sour cream glaze is a universal product. It can be used to decorate cakes and pastries. But it is also suitable as a topping for cheesecakes and pancakes. The main thing is to choose sour cream with no more than 15% fat content. Otherwise, the glaze will be too thick, and the delicate taste of cocoa will be killed by a fatty aftertaste.
