Creme Fraiche Recipe

The Creme Fraiche Recipe, actually Crème Frâiche, produces a sweeter, richer version of sour cream. It's a great way to add a gourmet touch to any recipe that calls for sour cream. But if you find it difficult to obtain it in your area, you can make your own.

Crème Frâiche

Creme Fraiche is very simple, very easy, but it does take 2 or 3 days to make. Mostly, it just sits there.

1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk

Combine the cream and buttermilk in a small saucepan and heat just to lukewarm over medium-low heat. Do not let it boil.

Immediately remove it from the heat and cover. Let it thicken at room temperature for 8 to 48 hours, until it reaches the desired thickness and flavor.

Chill well. Makes 1 cup.
