Vegan Crème Fraîche

There are many foods I miss, being dairy-free. Over the past several years I've had to find creative solutions to make-up for the missing dairy in my life. One of these creations is a Vegan Crème Fraîche. Crème Fraîche is similar to a sour cream. It's thick and creamy and can be used as a dip, mixed into soups, or dolloped onto desserts. It's so yummy!

The recipe I'm sharing today is very easy to make, inexpensive and tastes amazing! The flavor is a bit sour, tangy and delicious. It really does taste like dairy!  I hope you enjoy.
