Crème Fraîche Recipe FAQs

Can you freeze crème fraîche?

It’s not recommended to freeze crème fraîche because it can separate and become grainy when thawed, affecting the texture.

Can I use crème fraîche instead of double cream?

Yes, crème fraîche can often be used instead of double cream, especially in cooking, but it has a tangier flavour and thicker texture.

Is crème fraîche good for you?

Crème fraîche is high in fat and calories, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Is crème fraîche sour cream?

No, crème fraîche and sour cream are similar but not the same; crème fraîche is richer, less tangy, and has a higher fat content.

What can I use as a substitute for sour cream?

You can substitute sour cream with crème fraîche, Greek yoghurt, or a mix of yoghurt and lemon juice for a similar tangy flavour.

Can you whip crème fraîche?

Crème fraîche doesn’t whip like double cream, but it can be gently whipped to add a light, creamy texture.

What does crème fraîche taste like?

Crème fraîche has a rich, creamy taste with a mild tanginess that’s less sharp than sour cream.

Does crème fraîche curdle?

Thanks to its high fat content, crème fraîche usually doesn’t curdle when heated, making it great for cooking.

Can you put crème fraîche in curry?

Yes, crème fraîche adds a creamy, tangy richness to curries without curdling like some other dairy products.

Is crème fraîche dairy?

Yes, crème fraîche is a dairy product made from cultured cream.

Can you add crème fraîche to soup?

Absolutely, stirring crème fraîche into soup adds creaminess and a subtle tang without curdling.
