Creme Fraiche Recipe
Creme Fraiche is merely naturally fermented cream. Much like a Devonshire cheese.

Ingredients
  • 1 c raw cream
  • 1 tsp buttermilk (optional)

Directions
  1. Leave raw cream at room temp for a day. That's it.
  2. If you don't bake or cook a lot, or if you are impatient, you can add a teaspoon of buttermilk (or yogurt for that matter) to speed the process.
  3. Once clotted and thick, refrigerate.

I did something this once to make clotted cream... thank goodness I can buy creme fraiche at the grocery store!


Thanks for sharing. I like to top my Chocolate Pudding Cake with a dollop of creme fraiche! Gives it a spark. :)


Always wondered what it was! Clever!


I use a recipe for creme fraiche I saw once which calls for one part heavy cream and one part sour cream. let it sit out for a while for a couple of hours (or not). Even simpler, and I think it is a good substitute. I used to cook in France.

1 part heavy cream with one part sour cream. Leave it to sit for a couple of hours if possible. Can't be easier and tastes and looks like the real thing.
