Not your typical recipe that is made with buttermilk and heavy cream...this is lighter version from the traditional. Always wonderful with a Scone & Jam. :) So easy to make.:) Can be used with many recipes.

Easy and good. TY foodie friend


Nice recipe, but it's not creme fraiche by any stretch of the imagination. Sour cream is cultured LIGHT cream with a butterfat content from 14 -20 percent. Creme fraiche is made from HEAVY cream with a butterfat content of about 30 percent and can range up to 40 percent. California-made creme fraiche tends to go the higher butterfat content. Nothingh wrong with the recipe, but it needs a new name.


I think that is why she wrote it as *Light* *smile* and stated it wasn't a traditional one! Sounds like a keeper to me! I'll take less fat,thank you!

Thank you for your comment on the CF Light Chefjeb, and it's name, but I did mention at the top of the recipe that it wasn't "Traditional". I've tried to tailor it according to a person's diet, taste and fun. True Creme Fraiche is delightful, rich, and so delish, which you seem to agree. This recipe is pleasant, light, and for those who want a simple fare for Brunch or anytime and who possibly maybe on a budget. I appreciate your expertise, thoughts and comments, plus I still stand by the recipe name. Thank you ~Noir
