Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons cultured buttermilk

Directions

Step 1
Combine cream and buttermilk in a glass jar. Cover tightly with cheesecloth (or any breathable material) and let sit at room temperature (70 to 75 degrees F (21 to 24 degrees C)) until thickened, about 24 hours.

Step 2
Stir mixture, then screw on the lid. Refrigerate for 24 hours before using.

Chef’s Notes:

Be sure to use the best, freshest cream you can find. Look for pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized heavy whipping cream.
