Because I use a lot of Crème Fraîche in my blog, ^^, so I think it's good to show you how to make it properly, haha. Crème Fraîche is French sour cream, that's thick, rich and it can be whipped as whipping cream. I love to add it into almost any recipe instead of sour cream, well don't ask me about the calories as long as it's delicious.
You can easily make it at home, and after a time or two, you will be like me, always have it in the fridge,^^.
1 cup ................................ Whipping cream
1tbsp ............................... Plain yogurt
Prepare the Crème Fraîche by mix 1 cup of whipping with 1 tbsp of the yogurt, cover and let it sit on your counter (or any place that is not hot), for overnight, then refrigerate for 1 day before using.
You will get the thick and a little tangy cream.
Can be keep for 2 weeks in the fridge.

Can this be frozen? MH
ReplyDeleteNo, I think you have to treat it like a fresh whipping cream, never freeze it!
ReplyDeleteHi Pook, like very much ur blog.....just ask can I use this creme fraiche also for cooking ? or this is just only for baking ?
ReplyDeleteThank u, look forward from you.
Rita
Yes, you can Rita ^^, it like a yogurt but creamier.
ReplyDeleteHi Pook, wanted to try this but worry that if cream leave it at room temperature overnight, is it safe? As cream is dairy product it can be contaminated easily if leave outside for too long. Seen you have done it many time may be you can help to solve my worry.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.

Hi, Jas
ReplyDeleteIt likes when you making yogurt, you have to place it in room temperature to let the bacteria start working, so don't worry. ^^
if i dont refrigerate it would it come out the same or would it just be unusable? Ps. I love ur blog!^-^
ReplyDeleteAfter it becomes thick, you should refrigerate it ^^ otherwise it will be spoiled.
ReplyDeleteHi, for the whipping cream, let's say I use heavy cream, do i have to whip it first? thanks (:
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't have to whip it, just use mix it together with the yogurt.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteChanced upon your lovely blog, and enjoying it very much!
Could I please check if thickened cream can be used instead?
Thank you!

Andrea
I think that if the fat contain of the cream is enough, (about 35%up), you can you it ^^.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteOur whipping cream comes in 200ml, do I have to reduce the yogurt amount??

Fiona
HI, Fiona
ReplyDeleteYou will have to reduce the yogurt into 2tsp instead.
For replacing the recipe, this one can be used as sour cream.
