Don't worry about the creme fraiche spoiling while it's sitting on the counter; the acid in the mixture prevents bacterial disease associated with dairy products.

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Directions

In a bowl, combine the cream and buttermilk. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth in a warm, draft-free place and let sit until thickened, but still a pourable consistency, 12 to 16 hours. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)

I'm so glad to have found this recipe because it saves a lot of money. I use it a lot. Creme fraiche from the store is expensive and doesn't taste as good, either. I use this recipe in the recipe from Tyler Florence Spring Panna Cotta with Fresh Strawberries. Easy, but truly wonderful. The creme fraiche adds creamy deliciousness.

This turned out fabulous! It didn't thicken up like I expected, so after 12 hours I added another splash of buttermilk and gave it another 12 hours and it was perfect!
