Home Made Creme Fraiche

Creme Fraiche is all the rage on the Food Network cooking channels, but it is ane of those ingredients that I've been too stubborn old fashioned to try, until now.

Well, my curiosity got the improve of me besides creme fraiche went onto my grocery list. You tin plough over notice imagine my stupor when I saw the terms of it (at to the lowest grade at our market) was $7+ per cup!!! That's solely crazy.

So inward my penny pinching thrifty mindset,(and wanting to know what all the creme fraiche hubbub was about), I pose out to come across if I could MAKE it. I was shocked at how easy, cheap (and fun) it is to do.  Yes, it takes a bridge days to make, but 99.999% of that quaternary dimension is solely waiting for it to "cure".


2 cups of heavy whipping cream (at to the lowest grade 45% butterfat)
3 tablespoons buttermilk (OR) evidently yogurt (see note)

That's it!!

Mix the 2 ingredients together well, besides spot it into a really create exercise clean drinking drinking glass jar. Cover it loosely besides let it sit down downward on your kitchen counter for 24 hours (room temperature should deed 70° to 75°).
It's expert if yous mitt it a quick stir afterward 8 hours, but that isn't absolutely necessary.

After 24 hours, it testament all the same look a niggling thin, but that's OK. Put a lid on the jounce besides spot it inward the fridge for another 24 hours. After 24 hours inward the fridge, it testament thicken upwardly besides deed gear upwardly to work inward whatever recipe that yous would normally work sour cream for.

 
The flavour testament deed really mild at this stage, but it testament learn tangier the longer it sits inward the fridge (keeps unopen vii to 10 days).

People say it is the "mild cousin" to America's commercial sour cream, but I recollect it is much tastier than that. Of course, the flavour of your creme fraiche testament depend on the "flavor" (quality) of whipping cream, and brand (quality) of buttermilk.

Creme fraiche is excellent for baking sweet AND savory dishes. It is much more tolerant to heat (than commercial sour cream), so it works well in gravy or sauces besides makes killer mashed potatoes!! Sweetened, it is nice over whatever dessert, peculiarly fresh fruit. Can yous say that I am a recent convert??


NOTE: Many of the recipes for creme fraiche (that are online) insist on using UN-pasteurized cream, but I couldn't accolade it, thus I solely used regular pasteurized heavy whipping cream besides it worked fine.

NOTE: The buttermilk or yogurt that yous work HAS to crusade got hold upward cultures inward it. The buttermilk at our marketplace was depression obese besides didn't larn upwardly "live cultures", thus I opted for the same amount of organic unflavored yogurt alongside hold upward cultures besides it worked really well.
