Description

I have to admit, I had never heard of crème fraîche until a few years ago when I saw a cheftestant using it on Top Chef. Crème what? I immediately looked it up online, using my number one, trustworthy, foolproof, no-way-this-can-be-wrong source: Wikipedia. I found it described as sour cream, but less sour, and thicker, with 28 percent milk fat. Yes, please.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Blueberries
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 8 ounces, fluid Crème Fraîche

Preparation

Directions

1. Clean blueberries and place in a stainless steel pan over medium heat.
2. Add sugar.
3. Bring to rolling boil, stirring constantly, and then bring heat down to low.
4. Cook on low for five minutes or until blueberries are mostly liquid (there will be some remaining chunks of blueberries).
5. Remove from heat, pour mixture into a bowl and place in fridge until cool (about 1 hour).
6. Remove blueberry mixture from fridge, mix in crème fraîche.
7. Pour blueberry crème fraîche mixture into ice cream maker, following machine instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker (I borrowed my friend Anne’s) then follow David Lebovitz’s instructions for making ice cream without a machine.

Gah! Must get an ice cream maker! I have 2 lbs of blueberries that I got for super cheap at a farmers market and I’m running out of things to do with them. Sounds like heaven.

Big fan of your blog too!
