Crème fraîche is very easy to make. Once you taste the magic of this homemade sour cream, you’ll have a hard time not repeating this esoteric exercise. Sure it takes a couple of days, but the effort is minimal, and the payoff is marvelous.
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.
