Crème fleurette

What’s that when it’s at home?

My research suggests it’s a sort of crème fraîche, but it doesn’t taste like it to me.

It’s a weird single sort of whipping cream. But not that brilliant in my opinion.

(What we called top of the bottle (red top) when I was a kid)

I don’t think I’ve bothered to whip cream in last 15 years. If I want something luscious I use the fresh crème crue from the market - ladled out of a big tub.

That makes sense - thanks!

I use it to make ice cream and its fine as only needs whipping slightly plus I always add mascapone as well to thicken. I prefer the bottle type to the small briques personally.
