I have never tried crème fraîche. I love sour cream, but I also love trying new things. So I will. But I have a question. How does plain Greek yogurt compare with sour cream and crème fraîche? I sometimes substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I have even blended it with a small amount of sugar and used it as a topping for Jell-O. The tang is a nice contrast to the fruitiness of the Jell-O. I love your show. I am learning a lot from all of your tips. TY.

So glad to hear, and that’s a great question. Greek yogurt is actually quite close to crème fraiche in texture, though it might have a bit less fat depending on brand. Crème fraiche has less “tang” to it, too, and has a freshness like good quality cream. If you like sour cream and Greek yogurt, I think you’ll really enjoy crème fraiche. Cheers!

I'm wanting to make my own Creme' Fraiche, and this is an excellent and easy recipe!!! Want to get some caviar, but what they want with their order for Creme' Fraiche is ridiculous!!! I'm a self-taught Chef, and make a lot of my own recipes and share them!!! Thank you Chef!!!

It was useful video. I always thought that the fermented milk product we call “grietinė” is a sour cream. It appears I was wrong. It’s crème fraiche. Unfortunately I can’t answer which product I like more because I’ve never tried sour cream, only 30-40% fat crème fraiche is sold here…

Definitely similar, and creme fraiche is so easy to make at home if you want to compare!

I enjoy both sour cream and creme fraiche equally but definitely use them differently. I make my own creme fraiche the same way you do. Only recently I discovered that I can freeze buttermilk which is a money saver since my store sells buttermilk by the quart and I use only a few tablespoons of it for creme fraiche. Perhaps I should research other uses for the remaining buttermilk. lol

Great video. I never knew what Creme Fraiche was.. I always 'subbed' sour cream in a recipe. I find that you can still cook with sour cream as long as it is at a lower heat and at the final stage of the process. I think I will make some Creme Fraiche now that you told me how ....😀

FYI you can cook with sour cream. My family has been doing it for generations. It doesn't curdle as you say if you temper it the same way you would eggs.

I found the mix of whole whipping cream plus sour cream instead of buttermilk yields a finer crème fraiche flavor.

Sour cream & cream cheese can be mixed equal parts into a cheesecake

Good thought and possibly, but I’d personally stick with the heavy cream and butter route. I think creme fraiche might be a bit too thick.

Anywhere you'd use a bechamel, try using creme fraiche instead ! It's far lighter and tastier and much quicker !!!

You get buttermilk from turning cream into butter the liquid us buttermilk from takes. 3 mins to blend the cream to butter.

Thank you for informing - but I prefer crème fraiche

Great video! I plan to try my own the next time I can 🙂. Is the 8hr minimum "resting" time enoughto use in a thinner, squeezeable form (and thickness the longer it sits)? Or use water/milk to thin out? Thanks!

Glad it helped! As for that 8-hour time, I think so. Give it a try and see if it’s to your satisfaction. Otherwise, give it more time. Cheers.

I put sour cream on my blueberries muffin batter recipe. Since its thick consistency the blueberries doesn't sink to the bottom while I baked my muffins. Because If I use the same recipe substituting with yogurt or milk all the blueberries end up sinking to the bottom and the muffin doesn't rise with a dome shape. But the outcome of the muffins tastes the same no difference. I didn't know sour cream have that much fat in it.

I have seen Gordon Ramsay’s scrambled eggs, and he says crème fraishe but I have has scrambled eggs with sour cream vs milk or cream and also good

I prefer smetana which is Russian sour cream. Its creamier than creme freche. American sour cream is water compared to Smetana. If you're cooking Russian food, it will take it up a few notches than creme freche. As I live in a rural area, I add a tablespoon of heavy cream powder and a tablespoon of sour cream powder to the sour cream to give flavor. Also add some heavy cream powder to the store liquid heavy cream before turning it into butter.

Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but those are the instructions. Apparently whatever is in buttermilk keeps it from spoiling. Be sure to keep it covered, and I’ve found around 70 degrees F room temp works best.

Ok now can someone tell me wtf heavy cream is in Canadian because I have never seen heavy cream in a grocery store

If cooking with sour cream it needs to be tempered.

Creme Fraiche is not sour. II is sweet.

Uhh, you think any store should sell for less than they pay for it??? How do they make money. They can write off so much as a tax loss. But not if they sell it. I never understood how a store company insisted that the store should always earn more day after day. I asked the manager one day "on the sunny days your supposed to go out and drag people in. The also get employee alotted hours governed by the previous weeks sales (profits)????

Not entirely true. Crème fraiche is much more heat stable than sour cream.
