Ingredients

  • 500 g cream
  • 250 g whole milk
  • 100 g plain unsweetened yogurt
  • The juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Pour the cream, the milk and the salt into the mixing bowl and set 4 min/37C/speed 2.
  2. Add the plain yogurt and mix 30 sec/speed 3.
  3. Add the lime juice little by little while you mix 20 sec/speed 2 to acidify.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar and cover with a cloth.
  5. Let it ferment at room temperature between 8 and 12 hours until it thickens and turns acidic.
  6. Refrigerate the suero at least 4 hours so it finishes setting.
  7. Serve cold with arepas, cassava, bollo or patacones.

Tips

  • Warm weather speeds up the fermentation of the suero.
  • The longer it ferments, the more acidic it becomes.
  • Keep the jar very clean for a safe fermentation.
