How to make Crème Fraîche

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.

  5. Hi 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.
    Thank you very much.

  6. Hi, Jas
    It likes when you making yogurt, you have to place it in room temperature to let the bacteria start working, so don't worry. ^^

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