Fresh Cream
wrong spelling...it is creme fraiche. Got my answer from wikipedia.
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.
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.

Add sugar, or a blob or yoghurt, cream or creme fraiche in the middle when serving it.
For vegetarians who still eat milk, then yes. However, if the creme fraiche contains gelatin (ground cows hooves which is used as a thickener in food products), then no the creme fraiche is not vegetarian. Try looking for a creme fraiche product which uses a vegetarian thickener, like agar or carrageenan, etc.
Yes.
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.
