|---|---|
| 1. Combine ingredients | In a clean glass container, combine 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt with 3 cups (8 oz) of high butterfat whipping cream. |
| 2. Mix thoroughly | Stir the mixture until fully combined. |
| 3. Cover and set at room temperature | Cover the glass container loosely and leave it to sit at room temperature for approximately 8 hours or overnight. |
| 4. Stir and refrigerate | In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. Then, refrigerate it. |
| 5. Thickening process | Once the creme fraiche has chilled, it will thicken and develop its signature texture. |
| 6. Cycle the creme fraiche | When you’re down to the last 2-3 tablespoons of creme fraiche, add another 8 oz of whipping cream to the container. |
| 7. Repeat the process | Stir the mixture, keep it warm for another 8 hours, and then chill it. This will keep the creme fraiche cycle going. |
| 8. Enjoy your homemade creme fraiche | Use the creme fraiche as needed and repeat the process as desired. |
| 9. Freezing option | Two to three tablespoons of creme fraiche can be frozen for a starter, so you’ll always have some ready for the next batch. |
Tips:
