How To Make Homemade Creme Fraiche

Creme fraiche (pronounced krem fresh) is a thick cream used in sauces and soups and as a condiment for fresh fruits. Make your own homemade creme fraiche. But be sure to plan ahead as this will take some time.

Directions:

  1. 1 cup whipping cream mixed with 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
  2. Combine well in glass jar and cover.
  3. Let stand at room temperature (about 70 degrees F.) for 8 to 24 hours, or until thickened.
  4. Stir well and refrigerate.
  5. Use within 10 days.

Use as a thickener for soups or sauces. Spoon over fresh fruits, puddings or warm cobblers.



Creme Fraiche

 

Thick, smooth soured cream

with a velvety texture,

tangy on berries!

Very cool - congratulations!
Thank you! I'd always assumed it was something "fancy" and this is about as simple as it gets. Can't believe I never investigated it previously, though...

Love the haiku as well... Congratulations!
