What to Do with Crème Fraîche?
Crème fraîche is a thick, creamy dairy product that has a slightly tangy flavor. Its delicate flavor and rich texture make it a versatile addition to many savor and sweet dishes, including soup. It’s made by fermenting heavy cream with specific bacteria, which thickens it and gives it a rich taste. Unlike sour cream, crème fraîche has a higher fat content and is less acidic, making it a smooth and luxurious addition to many recipes, like this pea soup! Try a dollop of this tasty ingredient in your next batch of homemade vinaigrette, on top of baked potatoes… or indeed anywhere!
