Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, not ultrapasteurized
- 2 Tablespoons full-fat buttermilk OR full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- In a stainless-steel or glass bowl, whisk together 2 cups cream and 2 Tablespoons buttermilk or sour cream until blended.
- Transfer to a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid and cover the container.
- Let the cream stand at room temperature (about 68F degrees) until it thickens.
- This will take 24 to 48 hours. Once it is ready, store in the refrigerator for several weeks.
Cook's Note:
- As the creme fraiche ages in the refrigerator, it will give off some watery liquid. Spoon it off and discard it to keep the creme fraiche thick.
