Creme Fraiche
Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 11:48 am
I was just asked by a co-worker if creme fraiche could be made by mixing heavy whipping cream with a little lemon juice. I googled the question and most recommendations were to add buttermilk to the cream and let it sit 8-36 hours. I did see one response about mixing a few drops of lemon juice to slightly sweetened whipped cream and again letting it sit for a while.
She doesn't have that kind of time. She bought the cream because it was $3 less than the creme fraiche, thinking she could make her own for a berry dessert. I think she should have just bitten the bullet and paid the extra dough.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks!
