The creamy tang of the creme fraiche combined with the brown sugar is a delicious combination in this ice cream. It is wonderful on its own but it makes for a decadent treat on top of a summer berry pie.
To make your own creme fraiche - mix 2 tbsp good quality buttermilk per 1 cup whipping cream in a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm kitchen on the counter for 24 hours. It will thicken to look like yogurt. Once it is thickened, store in the fridge. If your kitchen is cool it will take longer to thicken.
If you don't want to make creme fraiche it is often available at gourmet grocery stores.
