Creme Fraiche Recipe


Creme Fraiche Recipe
This is a simple and successful way to make creme fraiche. Use it in place of sour cream or heavy cream in recipes. This can be doubled or triped with no problem. It is tasty and won't separate when stirred into a hot liquid, like a soup.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy or whipping cream (not ultra pasteurized, if possible)
  • 1/3 cup regular sour cream (not reduced fat or imitation), or buttermilk
  • 2 T plain yogurt containing acidophilus cultures

Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, sour cream, and yogurt. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Leave in the bowl or pour into a clean jar or small crock. Cover with plastic wrap.
  3. Let stand at room temperature until thickened, 6 to 8 hours. Let stand a few hours longer if you want it a bit thicker.
  4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. It will continue to thicken as it chills.
  5. The creme fraiche will keep in the fridge for a week.
