Creme fraiche is outrageously expensive, but super easy to make. Here's how to make your own for minimal moola:
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Development Time: 24 hours
Total Time: 24 hours, 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
Preparation:
1. Pour the ingredients into a sterilized jar; seal; and shake to combine.
2. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the creme fraiche to develop.
3. Stir; then, store your creme fraiche in the refrigerator.
Why This Works
The lactic acid bacteria in the buttermilk ferments the cream, causing it to sour and thicken.
