Servings

  • 2 tbsp 30 mL buttermilk or sour cream
Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. In an extremely clean glass container, add in buttermilk and heavy cream.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap or lid, and let thicken at room temperature for 12-48 hours.
  3. Store creme fraiche in refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Notes

  • You cannot freeze creme fraiche.
  • Stirring while checking on the thickening of the creme fraiche is okay, I've done it without an issue. Stir away!
  • Putting it in the fridge will stop the fermentation process. If you want it to be thicker, keep it out until desired thickness.
