What is Crème Fraîche?

What is Crème Fraîche?

Crème fraîche is a cultured cream with a velvety texture and a mildly tangy flavour. Originating from France, it’s made by adding bacterial culture to double cream, resulting in a thick consistency that’s less sharp than sour cream.

Thanks to its high fat content, it won’t split when heated, making it ideal for adding richness to sauces, soups, and baked dishes. While it’s a staple in classic French cuisine, used in everything from quiches to sauces for fish, it’s also become popular in modern British cooking.

Here, it is often swirled into pasta, spooned over roasted vegetables, or used as a lighter alternative to cream in curries and casseroles. Its delicious creamy texture makes it a go-to ingredient across a wide range of savoury and sweet dishes.

For a simple yet flavour-packed pasta sauce, crème fraîche is your best friend. Here’s how to whip up an easy crème fraîche sauce, HelloFresh style.

  1. Finely chop 1 small onion and grate 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop a small handful of fresh parsley and cut 4 rashers of smoked bacon into strips (or use about 100g of lardons).
  2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook 250g of pasta, adding 100g of frozen peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bacon until crisp (around 3 minutes), then remove and drain on kitchen paper.
  4. Lower the heat, add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Return the bacon to the pan and stir in 150g of crème fraîche along with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  6. Add the drained pasta and peas, grate in 30g of parmesan, and toss everything together.
