Equipment
- 1 mason jar (2-cup capacity)
- 1 cheesecloth (6-inch square piece)
Ingredients
- 4 ounces buttermilk
- 12 ounces heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a clean mason jar, add the buttermilk.
- Add the heavy whipping cream. Mix with a spoon.
- Cover the mason jar with a piece of cheesecloth and use the ring from the lid to hold the cheesecloth in place. Keep the jar on the kitchen counter at room temperature until it's thickened to your liking. Use a spoon to check it. It will take 8-24 hours.
- Put the lid on the mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- I like to make this in the evening and let it sit on the counter overnight. It's always been thick and ready in the morning.
- Store your crème fraîche covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
