I made this recently and am happy I don't have to try and find it any more. A Keeper.

    This is wonderful. Works with yogurt too. In Mexico it's called Creama Mexicana. It doesn't break in a sauce like sour cream. On strawberries it's incredible and it beats like whipping cream too. Thanks for sharing!!!! Tony

    This is wonderful. Creme freche isn't stocked in the stores around here, at least not where I shop. I found it once at a deli, but that was years ago and they havn't had it since. Now I have a limitless supply!

    I have never EVER been able to find creme fraiche where I live so I've been forced to skip the recipes that call for it or substitute sour cream. Now I know what it tastes like...nothing like sour cream. This is so simple to make I'll be making it often. The taste is wonderful. Thank you, Sylvie!

    This turned out great! Thanks for the homemade version. It's impossible to find where I live. It really thickened up after I put it in the fridge after the 24 hours. Perfect! Thanks for posting!

    This worked wonderfully! I needed creme fraiche for another dish and could not find it at the market. Now, I'll no longer even look. After mixing, I covered the bowl and put it in the microwave leaving the door ajar so the light stayed on; 12 hours later it was thick and creamy. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    I've never had this nor have I seen this in a store. It is wonderful! It was really thick after about 18 hours and I refrigerated it in a glass jar. Thanks!
