Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons buttermilk or Solait crème fraîche starter

Steps:

  • Combine the heavy cream with the buttermilk or crème fraîche starter. Pour into a clean, warmed thermos or glass jar. Cover tightly and keep in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours. If using crème fraîche starter, keep covered for 24 hours. When the mixture has jelled and is almost firm, refrigerate. It will solidify further in the refrigerator.
  • This amount, if made with Solait crème fraîche starter, will keep for a month in the refrigerator. If made with buttermilk it will keep for 10 days.
  • To make more crème fraîche, use 2 tablespoons from the last batch and add it to a cup of cream. You can continue making more this way. After six months or so, a slightly fermented taste may develop, in which case it is time to start a new batch.
