Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 - c heavy whipping cream (if possible, use pasteurized heavy whipping cream, as ultra-pastuerized will take longer to thicken)
1 - tbsp. buttermilk
Directions:
Directions:
in a medium heavy saucepan over low heat, warm the cream to 105ºF. Remove from heat and stir in the buttermilk. Transfer the cream to a large non-reactive (glass or stainless steel) bowl and allow the mixture to stand in a warm place, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until thickened but still of pouring consistency.

Stir and taste every 6 to 8 hours. This process takes anywhere from 24 to 36 hours, depending on your room temperature. The creme fraiche is ready when it is thick with a slightly nutty sour taste.

Chill creme in the refrigerator for several hours before using. Creme fraiche may be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 days.

Creme Fraiche Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat the creme fraiche with 1 to 2 tbsp. of sugar until stiff peaks form. Can be used in place of whipped cream.

I put this recipe in the book because it is impossible to find creme fraiche at local supermarkets.
