Homemade Creme Fraiche

Homemade Creme Fraiche.... I am quite fascinated with making dairy products at home. If it's a fairly simple process, I tend to want to try it.

Ingredients :

1 cup heavy cream, room temp.*

1 TBS live culture yoghurt(or 2 TBS buttermilk), room temp.

*the higher in fat, the better...non-pastuerized cream is preferred

Directions:

1. In a clean glass container, add the heavy cream along with yoghurt(or buttermilk, if using) and mix thoroughly. If your cream is cold out of the fridge, you may want to heat the heavy cream in a pan gently to just warm( room temp or so... nothing higher) and then add the yoghurt. This jump starts the bacteria to work....as the live cultures do thrive better in a warm environment.

2. Let stand overnight... or even up to 36 hours or so(depending on how warm your kitchen is and if you are using an Ultra-Pasteurized Cream)..or until thickened. I like to place a plastic wrap over the mixture.... or a small towel.

The creme fraiche will thicken, but won't be extra firm...probably the consistency of a custard. It will continue to thicken in the fridge.

3. Refrigerate for a week... or a bit longer.

Tip: 

Keep in mind the creme fraiche will continue to mature and thicken in the fridge.

Sweeten it a bit and use it as a topping for desserts. Use it in pan drippings to make a savory sauce, on top of potato pancakes, as a sauce for fish... or simply add it to other savory sauces for a smooth finish. I've even seen it used as a "sauce" for a pizza.
