Garlic Creme Fraiche - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or as needed

Preparation

Mix heavy cream and buttermilk together in a bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm place until thick but still pourable, 12 to 16 hours. Stir and refrigerate up to a week.

Pour cream mixture into a food processor. Blending on low speed, add lemon juice slowly, stopping when sauce reaches a fluffy consistency.
