Ooh the best bit of custard is when it gets a nice thick skin on it - yummy!

Here in Montreal at least you can find it at IGA and Metro and Marche Adonis. It is the liberte brand.

Is it called Creme Fraiche still? Is the liberte brand the organic stuff?

Yes it is still called creme fraiche and no they are not organic.
THere is a picture of it here:

Hi Amy - I have bought creme fraiche in Calgary at Community Healthfood store - not sure if you have an equivalent store where you are. Haven't bought it for a while though as I find it's pretty easy to make a good substitute ... lightly whisk together 1 cup whipping cream with 1 cup sour cream (must be regular not non or low fat)... let it sit for 24 hours at room temperature covered, then put in the fridge (covered) for at least four hours to chill....

Alternatively I have also seen it in Superstore (Loblaws) but I think it was called something like triple/treble cream or something?

Best of luck! J

Liberte does have an organic line, I too thought it was purely organic, Loblaws, Whole Foods etc sell it - we also have Whole foods in Ontario

Alex Farms in the St. Lawrence Farmers' Market. A stone's throw from Scotland Yard.

Is this helpful?

For the custard lovers Safeway do their own brand Devon custard which is lurvely

I've put a block of cream cheese into soups before now too - yummy! Shove it all the blender before back in the pan to re-heat.

That sounds delish...and yet super lifetime on the lipsy...

anything yum is usually bad for lips/hips/thighs/bums/extra chins....... but I don't care anymore!!!

Same here - we should meet up at that cake store in Cole Harbour...mmmmmmmm cake...lol

sounds good to me!

Pete's Fruitique sells Creme Fraiche but its about $12 a tub. There was a thread on here about it before and I'm not sure if I read someone adds icing sugar to sour cream????

$12 a tub. I may open Amy's Fruitique and then retire.
