I love creme fraiche so was glad to find your recipe and have tried it a couple of times but the end result isn’t as thick as yours, or store bought creme fraiche. I’m not sure my house is warm enough as I don’t have a radiator for it to sit over. However, after heating could I put it in my yogurt maker and then put it in the fridge after that? Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi Zinnur,

If the cream has the cultures in it, you can leave it out for hours and hours. It is the same process of making yogurt. The longer you let it sit, the more the flavor develops.

Thanks, Zoë

It was not as tangy. Maybe i did not wait long enough. it is a little scary to leave dairy out.
Thanks!

Hi Tanya,

I haven’t tried it, but I have a feeling it will work just fine. I would start with a small batch, just in case. But, if it doesn’t work, you can still use that cream for another recipe, so nothing lost.

Thanks, Zoë

I would like to try this too. I am also wondering if the buttermilk powder would work since I have it on hand. Do you have any experience working with it?

Hi Jes,

How cool! I long to be back there and have those cookies for breakfast. Thanks for letting me know. I’ve been meaning to make the cookies, I’ll have to get on that.

Cheers, Zoë

This is a little off-topic, but I wrote to you about a year ago. I finally made it to San Gimignano this past summer and loved it. Thanks to you I found both bakeries and the ice-cream shop. I can’t stop thinking about the cookies, which I had for breakfast every day of our stay. Do you think you could develop a recipe for the ricciarelli? I’d love to make them at home!
Thanks,
Jes
p.s. I’m making the Vietnamese Iced Coffee Panna Cotta this weekend!
