Overnight Creme Fraiche image

Creme Fraiche has a very tangy taste and a lighter texture than sour cream. You can buy it in stores many places, but if not, just make your own. I like this as a substitute for sour cream in dessert recipes because I think commercial sour cream can add a harsh edge to some of the more delicate pastry items.
