How to Make Very Easy Creme Fraiche

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 2 minutes to allow the sugar and salt to dissolve slightly.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the Crème Fraîche to thicken.
