Homemade Sour Cream! How to Make Creme Fraiche

[tuppybrill]

I’m watching this 8 years after you posted it and you still only sound a day older! Creme fraiche, the secret of eternal youth.

I tried this 2 days ago exactly how you've instructed. Worked perfectly, tastes INCREDIBLE.!! I had no idea what i was missing till I tried it. Thank you so much Chef John.!!!

Chef!  Chef! It's 1/9/14  I watched this video two days ago.  I DID IT! I made Creme Fraiche.  It tastes fabulous.  My husband and grandkids think I'm brilliant.  Woo hoo!!! Thanks.

I'm a relatively new Food Wisher (I started watching in 2018) and I absolutely appreciate how John has kept the same integrity and style throughout his journey while producing these videos! You sound like an amazing chef and even more of an amazing person. Thanks for the content! It's a perfect channel to visit for not only an educational experience but for a light hearted presentation that really captures the beauty of what's presented. Again, thanks! Watching intently - Ben.

I just maid it with kefir (didn't have buttermilk on hand) and it came up exactly as in your video. I can taste milk fat, it's little nutty and vanila-ish. It's very solid, definitely not a sour cream. Can't wait to try it in Beef Stroganoff. Thank you for this video!

I just made this using the ultra pasteurized cream and it came out fantastic!. What I did which worked great is use a seed starter mat or they also called them lizard mats. It keeps a constant 72°. I put it in a dark cardboard box on the mat for 24 hours, then the refrigerator for 24 hours and it is perfection in texture and flavor. What a great recipe and so easy. Thank you!

I watch chef John's recipes a lot too, he's great. And unpretentious, I bet he's a good bloke.

I've tried it and it is heavenly! It's thick like butter/mascarpone, but with a nice tang. Awesome spread on bread and topped with cherry jam! I love it! Thank you:))

This is one of the easiest and best things in the world! This morning I’m making pancakes with sautéed peaches and a whipped creme fraiche topping and it is AMAZING! Thank you once again, Chef John!!

I've experimented with this a few years ago (when I made cheese at home) and it was amazing. I've served it with home made scones and jam, what a treat. it's definitely way better than store bought sour cream.

you sir upgraded my mash potatoes to another level and another subscriber!!!

I made this!! It worked! I had homemade yogurt that had been draining in the fridge for 2 days when I saw this video. I did 3 days of “aging” because I forgot about it. But, it was still WOW! Then because life got in the way, I knew I wouldn’t be able to use it for about a week so I put it in the freezer just to see how it would fare. It fared fine, not grainy as I expected. I made a no-bake cheesecake with it. I am, after all, the bees knees of what I do with my cream cheese! I have to say I am impressed with myself.

Made it with UHT cream. Worked fine just had to let it go 2 days in warm air rather than 1. Amazing after putting in fridge for 1 day! No comparison between store bought sour cream and home made. Definitely recommend trying it as it is so easy.

This is an excellent kitchen trick. I try to have some on hand in the fridge all the time and sneak it into everything that calls for sour creme, and then some. I've added it to mashed potatoes, pancake batter, quick breads, stews, and used it as a condiment for baked potatoes and tacos. I think the recipe works best with pasteurized (rather than ultra pasteurized) cream. Thank you so much for the recipe.

[joeries]

I've been making this recipe since I first saw on food wishes YEEEEARS ago and almost always have some on hand in the fridge cause it always comes in handy in SOOOO many ways. Thanks CJ, U DA MAN!!!

[joycestewart]

I made this and used it in the sour cream coffee cake recipe I have treasured from my grandmother and WOW! This is not only easy but delicious. Thank you Chef John for this and soooo many other wonderful recipes. You never disappoint. My husband loves this and your ever so wonderful cream cheese recipe. YUM.

[bernadettebailey]

I just did this recipe. Worked great! Tastes delightful!

[MrDinoboy]

Wow genius! I watched this only yesterday and I just put it in the fridge. Perfect thick white, creamy, goodness so far. Now, time for application. Thanks a bunch!
