While this is not real Cream Fraiche, but it tastes very much like it: Take firm sour cream (not the runny stuff) and and powdered sugar to taste.
Fresh Cream
The fat content of creme fraiche is about 30% to 45% as it is made with cream soured with bacterial culture, but is less sour than US style sour cream.
Yes you can but it is easy to make creme Fraiche. Take heavy cream preferably the ultra pasteurized kind as it has a lower bacterial count than the normal stuff. ( the normal stuff whipps better though and is not unhealthy in any way other than the high fat. Add to the cream some buttermilk. Let the cream stand overnight. When you get up the cream should have set up into cream fraiche. Use sapringly as it is about 1/3 fat.
Yes, cream fraiche a is a dairy product. It is derived from full fat milk and used sweet without being cultured.
'la crème fraiche' is the fresh, thick cream made out of milk. It is often called the same in English, using the French term.

No! Creme fraiche has a thicker texture. A better substitution (if you are trying to duplicate creme fraiche) would be half and half with sour cream.
Add sugar, or a blob or yoghurt, cream or creme fraiche in the middle when serving it.
Sponge cake with creme fraiche filling is a universally liked combination. It is something that Europeans would appreciate more than in the Western world. The creme fraiche would be ideal as a topping as well.
Yes, they are both clearly white and therefore no one will ever know the difference. Another possible substitue, egg whites
Sour cream represents a fat component, so you can use butter, margarine, vegetable oil.
Creme fraiche, but it is really sour cream. And Fleurette, which isn't fresh cream either. We have an apartment in Menton by the Italian border. And right across the border, a few hundred yards from us, you can get real cream. Basically, the French don't have it. Very strange...
