Homemade Creme Fraiche
Homemade Crème Fraîche ~ with just 2 ingredients you can make your own thick and creamy crème fraîche ~ no more last minute trips to the supermarket to buy one of those overpriced little tubs!
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 Tbsp cultured buttermilk (look for it with the regular milk in your supermarket) You can also use sour cream.
Instructions
- In a clean, dry jar or container with a lid, combine the heavy cream and buttermilk/sour cream. Make sure you stir to combine everything completely.
- Cover the jar/container with a lid or cheesecloth and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
- Check the mixture after 12 hours to see if it has thickened and developed a tangy flavor. If not, let it sit for a few more hours until it reaches the desired consistency and taste.
- Once it has thickened, stir the mixture and then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Your homemade crème fraîche will last 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
