  • So easy to make with only two ingredients, Crème Fraîche is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Its nutty flavour makes it an excellent base for condiments and toppings, and its high-fat content and low protein content means it can be added as a thickener to hot dishes without curdling.
    Creme fraiche is commonly used a number of ways:
    Mixed into soups and pan sauces to thicken them
    Blended with herbs and citrus as a topping for meat
    Mixed with spices as a creamy salad dressing
    Served atop scones
    Added to scrambled eggs.
    Mixed into bread, cookies, and other baked goods
    Whipped with sugar or vanilla and served with fresh fruit

    That dessert looked incredible! Creme fraiche is not easy to get in the shops in Australia so really handy to have a recipe.

    Wow ! So easy ! I’ve seen that in so many recipes but it’s almost impossible to buy in the USA. Thanks Gavin ! Now I can make it myself !

    I've always made creme fraîche by mixing 1 cup of cream and 1 to 2 T of buttermilk and leaving it sit on the counter for a day or two. Like this approach too for when I don't have buttermilk handy.

      Yes me too. Cultured Buttermilk. This was a new take on this for me. I bet it's more mild. A little more like Clotted Cream. Very interesting. ✌ Curd Nerds.

    I've heard you can get relatively close to this by mixing greek yogurt with live and active cultures with cream and just letting it sit on the counter loosely covered for about a day.

    • @bunnytoo3710
      @bunnytoo3710 4 года назад +6

      We do this in our restaurant, heat the cream to 80 deg mix in the yogurt and cover with cheesecloth, the fraiche will float on the top of a thinner waste product.

  • @etherdog
    @etherdog 4 года назад +2

    Gav, please tell me that you licked that spoon and cleaned out that pot. I will often use a starter form a live culture creme fraiche and the good thing about it is that when you add it to a sauce it doesn't break.

      @heatherjellett6202 4 года назад +3

      I make clotted cream in my slow cooker. Put 600mls double (heavy) cream into the slow cooker and switch it to warm. Place a teacloth over the pot before putting the lid on. Leave for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight. Skim off the clots first. The liquid left can be used too. Et Voilà - Clotted Cream! It will keep well in a plastic tub with a lid for about 3 - 4 days.

    Yes, that is my question what is the difference between English clotted cream and Creme Fraiche ?

    • @tommihommi1
      @tommihommi1 4 года назад +5

      clotted cream is not cultured. The only real thing they have in common is the the word cream.

    • @heatherjellett6202
      @heatherjellett6202 4 года назад +2

      Clotted cream is heated cream without acidity. Creme Fraiche has acidity.

    • @johnlord8337
      @johnlord8337 4 года назад +2

      @@tommihommi1 Then the process is the same with indirect heating (or water bathed), and allowed to slowly cool. But no bacterial culture is added. Soooo, in reality, British Cream is more Creme Fresh tasting like whipped cream or cream cheese/butter ... than (tangy) French Creme Fraiche ... because it has no additives.

    my grandma used to buy raw milk from the market and if it was not getting boiled she would "let it sit" in the bottle. few days later it would turn into yoghurt kinda and there would be a layer of creme fraiche on top, depending on how good the milk was. maybe it wasn't really yoghurt or creme fraice but the taste was extremely close haha

    You can take heavy cream and cultured butter milk. One container of heavy cream add two table spoons of cultured butter milk put in a clean jar put the lid on and leave over night it should be ready in 8 to 12 hours.
