Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a clean glass jar or container, pour in the heavy cream.

  2. Add the buttermilk to the cream.

  3. Secure the lid tightly on the jar and shake well to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. Place the jar in a warm spot in your kitchen, away from direct sunlight.

  5. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 12-24 hours. The longer you let it sit, the thicker and tangier it will become.

  6. After the desired time has passed, give the Creme Fraiche a gentle stir to check for the desired consistency. It should be thickened but still slightly pourable.

  7. Refrigerate the Creme Fraiche for at least 6 hours to allow it to cool and set further.

  8. Once chilled, your homemade Creme Fraiche is ready to use! Enjoy it as a topping for fresh fruit, a dollop on soups, or a luxurious addition to your desserts.
