Creme Fraiche

Cook Time 2 days
Total Time 2 days

Ingredients

  • 12oz (355g) Heavy cream
  • 3 Tbsp (43g) Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Whisk the buttermilk and cream together, then pour into a plastic or glass jar.
  • Cover the top with a towel or cheesecloth, and use a rubber band to secure it.
  • Set the cream in a room temperature area and let ferment for 24 to 28 hours.
  • After thickening, place in the refrigerator for another 24 hours until use.
  • Store with an airtight lid for up to two weeks.

Notes

Avoid Ultra-pasteurized cream and buttermilk. The creme Fraiche will not be able to ferment. Pasteurized may work but will likely need more time to ferment.
