Crème Fraîche

I found a new treat!  And, it fits into the eating plan I am following.  It is Crème Fraîche.

Imagine a creamy, nutritious and indulgent treat made out of healthy fat.  It is made from heavy cream cultured on the counter-top with a little bit of yogurt or buttermilk.  It will take 12-24 hours with buttermilk and more like 24-36 hours with a yogurt culture.  Leave it out on the counter-top until it reaches the consistency you desire.  It can be made thicker or thinner by letting the culture grow longer.

Once it has reached your preferred consistency, put it in the refrigerator to stop the culture from growing.  Or, just eat it all with fresh berries.
