Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Chill equipment

    Chill a medium mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help the creme fraiche whip more easily.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    Pour 1 cup creme fraiche into the chilled bowl. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt.

  3. 3

    Whip

    Using an electric mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed, whip until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes; continue whipping until fluffy and holds stiff peaks, 4-6 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust

    Taste the whipped creme fraiche and, if desired, whip a few seconds longer until the sweetness and texture meet your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve or store

    Serve immediately as a topping or dessert component. If not serving right away, transfer to a covered container and refrigerate up to 24 hours; whisk briefly before using if texture has separated.
