Keto Sour Cream Recipes That Add Moisture and Flavor

Sour cream is one of those keto ingredients that does more than people realize. I use it in casseroles for moisture, in baking for tenderness, and as a base for dips that are way better than store-bought.

Full-fat only — the reduced-fat versions add thickeners and extra carbs to compensate. At just 1g net carbs per serving, full-fat sour cream gives you richness without the guilt.

Browse my keto sour cream recipes below — from loaded casseroles to creamy dips and moist baked goods.

Keto sub Plain full-fat Greek yogurt works as a 1:1 swap with slightly more tang and protein. For dairy-free, coconut cream thickened with a squeeze of lemon.

Storage Keeps 2-3 weeks unopened, 7-10 days after opening. Don't freeze — it separates and becomes grainy.

Annie Lampella Recipe Developer

I use full-fat sour cream as a secret weapon in keto baking — it keeps muffins and cakes incredibly moist without adding carbs. In dips and toppings, I mix it 50/50 with cream cheese for a thicker consistency that holds up on a chip.
