In this article, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of making fromage frais at home, and we’ll share some tips on how to store and serve it. Let’s dive into this delightful homemade treat!
### What is Fromage Frais?
Fromage frais is incredibly versatile. It can be eaten plain with a drizzle of honey or jam, mixed with herbs and spices for savory dishes, or used as a creamy base in sauces and desserts. The smooth texture and delicate flavor make it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes.
### Ingredients Needed
– **1 liter (4 cups) of whole milk** – The milk should be fresh and preferably full-fat for the creamiest result.
– **2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with live cultures** – This serves as your starter culture. You can use store-bought plain yogurt or a bit of previously made fromage frais to kickstart the fermentation process.
– **1/4 teaspoon of liquid rennet** – Rennet helps the milk coagulate and form curds. You can find liquid rennet at most health food stores or online. Alternatively, you can use vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute, though the result will differ slightly in texture and flavor.
– **Salt** (optional) – To taste, if you want a savory flavor in your cheese.
