Homemade Ice Cream with Creme Fraiche
I created this ice cream recipe about six months ago. It has just been sitting around waiting to be shared. I don’t know why it has taken me so long.
With the luxuriously smooth consistency of the creme fraiche ice cream and the sweet yet tart raspberry swirl, this is a must try recipe for any ice cream lover!
Don’t be intimidated by the fancy-pants crème fraîche ingredient. Crème Fraîche is basically just snobby sour cream. In fact, about six months ago I shared How To Make Homemade Crème Fraîche. It is super simple and I used homemade crème fraîche to make this ice cream.
Do you know what impresses people more than serving them homemade ice cream? Serving them homemade ice cream that was made with homemade crème fraîche!
This ice cream is extremely soft after it has been churned. Usually I freeze my homemade ice cream for 4-6 hours after churning but this one requires overnight freezing.
This Creme Fraiche Ice Cream is worth the wait. It is drip down your chin, lick your fingers and hands delicious! The ice cream may sound fancy but you’ll want to eat it like a little kid. Remember the days when half of the ice cream ended up on your face? Yeah, that’s how this ice cream should be eaten!
