It's sour cream.
Actually, Crema Mexican is a mixture of sour cream and heated heavy cream, which is then allowed to ferment without refrigeration for 12 hours, then referigerated for an additional 12 hours to thicken..
Like I suggested earlier, mascarpone is an creamy Italian cheese that tastes absolutely nothing like cream cheese or Neufchâtel and can be substituted in recipes ounce for ounce.
