Which do you prefer with a fruit dessert- creme fraiche or whipped cream?

[cynupstateny]

Me, too, Barb- laughed out loud.

Whipped cream!

Har!

Depends on the dessert. Some cry out for a balance of tang from the creme fraiche while other

desserts already have enough going on that a simple or lightly flavored whipped cream is just the ticket. Whipped creme fraiche also makes a lovely topping.

 

[cynupstateny]

They don't even carry it here so I'll have to make my own. Whipped sounds lovely, Pat.

Heavy cream with a Tbsp. of buttermilk? Will that whip or do you have a recipe or technique to share?

 

[pat-nocal]

Yes, I usually use 1 cup heavy cream to 1 tbsp buttermilk.

Here's a site with some useful info on making creme fraiche and a whipped variation at the end.

I find it in the deli cheese section next to the Mexican crema fresca for some reason

My pleasure, Cyn.

Ahhh- but you probably live in a place with more than 500 people in it smileys/wink.gif

Los Angeles?? Yup, I think that's a safe guess...
