Creme fraiche and lemon?

[cupofteaplease]

I have some creme fraiche and a lemon left over- can I make some sort of desert with this? I'm thinking adding sugar? Heating perhaps?

Any ideas?

With mushrooms and bacon and pasta/

Add some icing sugar and zest of the lemon to the creme fraiche, you could then use the juice of the lemon, some corn flour maybe and a little more icing sugar to make a warm lemony sauce to go over the top.

Got any plain biscuits? Digestive or Ginger nuts maybe? You could make a quick easy cheese cake. So long as you have icing sugar too, to mix with the creme fraiche!

Good idea moondog- I could do that tomorrow, I've already done dinner for this evening.

Any ideas for something sweet?

Both good ideas- thank you!

Creme fraiche great over fruit. Sometihng like stewed plums or rhubarb or gooseberries.Or an apple crumble.

wouldn't do a pud but you can use creme fraiche in place of cream for lots of things and would squeeze the lemon over chicken or fish or use in a marinade with olive oil and garlic. Not much help really

Ok, thanks for the great ideas. I decided to cobble something up!

Grated the lemon zest into some sugar in a saucepan and added the creme fraiche. Brought to the boil and boiled for 3 minutes, then added the juice of the lemon and seived into serving pots. It's now in the fridge with the intention of thickening up- fingers crossed!!

That'd effectively a syllabub-old Mediaevalrecipe I think.It's delicious.
