Option 1: If you can get whipping cream, add about 3 tablespoons of yogurt to two cups of cream and let it sit in a warm place for 2 days. If you want it thicker, you can strain it through a coffee filter. Salt to taste.
Option 2: If you can't get whipping cream, add 3 tablespoons of yogurt to two cups of milk, let it sit in a warm place for 2 days. After it has sat, stir in about 3 tablespoons of full fat coffee creamer ( not the low fat stuff). Mix it really well, before you have chilled it. Add salt to taste.
Recipe: French Onion dip: Add about 1 tablespoon beef soup mix and some sauteed onion to 1 cup of sour cream. makes a respectable french onion dip. A bit of wasabi adds a nice bit is zest as well

The Denmark sour cream is so bad. After a few days it just tastes like yogurt. And it's 7,000 won.

My wife makes her own, and it's very good.

thanks for that!

I've turned into susie homemaker here, as my location is a little isolated, and I desperately miss some foods and that's such a handy easy recipe to have!

I like Denmark sour cream because it does taste like yogurt even when it's fresh.

Sour cream mainly just uses a different type of bacterial culture, and my understanding is that (at least some of) the yogurt cultures are healthier.

I suspect that Denmark brand might actually be made with a yogurt culture (or the cream/milk is heated to a higher temperature when the bacterial culture is added to make it tarter...)

I'm not sure. Here's a Wikipedia article on "Fermented milk products":
