CREME FRAICHE



Creme Fraiche image

This is very much like sour cream yet it is softer and has a little more tang. Use it to garnish anything from pies to soup. Try whipping it with a little bit of sugar for tangy whipped cream!

LIGHTER CRèME BRûLéE



Lighter crème brûlée image

The secret to this healthier French pud is to make the custard very thick intially as unlike your normal recipe, it's not baked afterwards

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 tbsp custard powder
1 tbsp cornflour
200ml semi-skimmed milk
2 large egg yolks
125ml single cream
1 vanilla pod
140g half-fat crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Stir 2 tbsp of the sugar, the custard powder and cornflour in a medium bowl with 2 tbsp of the milk to make a smooth paste. Beat in the egg yolks with a fork until well combined. Pour the remaining milk into a pan, preferably non-stick, then pour in the cream. Slit the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape the seeds into the milk. Drop the pod into the pan and bring the creamy milk just to the boil - as soon as you see a few bubbles rising to the surface, remove from the heat.
  • Slowly pour and stir the hot milk into the cornflour mix, including the vanilla pod, making sure the yolks are well blended in. Transfer to a clean pan. Cook over a low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, for about 15-20 mins until the mixture is very thick - when you drag the spoon across the bottom of the pan, it should leave a clean line. It should be much thicker after about 10 mins, but keep stirring until the mixture has thickened sufficiently to look like softly whipped cream or mayonnaise. Keep adjusting the heat so that the mixture does not come to the boil or overheat, as it may curdle and become lumpy. If this happens, beat the mixture smooth with a wire whisk.
  • Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and leave to cool for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Remove the vanilla pod. Stir in the crème fraîche and divide the mixture between 4 small ramekins (about 125-150ml capacity each). Spread the mixtures level, then chill, uncovered, overnight. By not covering them, a thin skin can form on top of the brûlées, which will help support the caramel layer.
  • Before serving, spoon the remaining sugar over the top of each brûlée (allow 1½ tsp per ramekin) and smooth over with the back of the spoon. To caramelise, use a blowtorch. Hold the flame just above the sugar and keep it moving until evenly caramelised (don't take too long or you will heat up the custard too much). If the custard looks as though it has softened slightly, put the ramekins in the fridge for 5-10 mins to firm it up again. Serve while the caramel is still brittle.

OVERNIGHT CREME FRAICHE



Overnight Creme Fraiche image

Creme Fraiche has a very tangy taste and a lighter texture than sour cream. You can buy it in stores many places, but if not, just make your own. I like this as a substitute for sour cream in dessert recipes because I think commercial sour cream can add a harsh edge to some of the more delicate pastry items.

Provided by P48422

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time P1DT2m

Yield 3 c.

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 cups heavy whipping cream (not ultrapasteurized)
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Whisk together the cream and sour cream until smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel and let sit at room temperature (around 68 degrees) until it thickens.
  • This will take at least 12 and up to 24 hours.
  • Stir until smooth and refrigerate.
  • The creme fraiche will stay fresh for several weeks.
  • As it ages it will give off some water liquid.
  • Either stir it back into the creme fraiche or spoon it off and discard it.
