I'm glad it turned out for you. This is one I am yet to try. What was the recipe that you used?
Super simple.
I got a Yogotherm Yoghurt maker for this...
1 quart of pasteurized, organic Half and Half from clover dairy
1 packet of creme fraiche starter from cheesmaking.com
I brought the temp. up to 86 F, mixed in the starter and poured the cream into the yogotherm and let it sit overnight, then I strained it for about 6 hours in a colander lined with two layers of cheese cloth.
That's it.
Later on I incorporated it into tiramisu.
