Instructions

To make the vegan buttermilk, add 1 cup of Country Crock Plant Cream and 2 ½ tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine and allow it to sit, undisturbed at room temperature for 10 minutes. The vegan buttermilk is ready to use once it is curdled and has separated.
For the Vegan Crème Fraîche: Add 1 cup of Country Crock Plant Cream to a jar that has a lid. Stir the vegan buttermilk mixture and add it to the jar with the Plant Cream, stirring to combine. Cover the jar loosely with cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and store in a warm place on the counter for 12-24 hours.
Once the dairy-free Crème Fraîche has thickened, stir it well with a spoon, put the lid on the jar and allow it to chill in the fridge.
Serve the Vegan Crème Fraîche over your favorite sweet or savory dishes and enjoy!
