What the heck is crème fraîche? Simply put, it’s like the French cousin of American sour cream. Both start with cultured cream that’s fermented to produce a thick consistency and tangy flavor. Crème fraîche has a higher fat content, which prevents it from curdling when heated. With this in mind, can you imagine the deliciousness of Madagascar Vanilla Bean Crème Fraîche?

No need to imagine. It’s here. Trader Joe’s Madagascar Vanilla Bean Crème Fraîche is lusciously thick and speckled throughout with Madagascar Vanilla Bean flecks. With only one gram of added sugar, this cultured Crème tastes impressively balanced: sweet, but not too sweet— tangy, but not too tangy. You might call it the secret to your summertime sweet-treat success! Try it as a dip for berries, a frosting for cakes and cupcakes, a topping for pancakes and waffles, or the base for parfaits. We’ll admit our favorite way to eat it just might be straight out of the tub with a spoon! This creamy delight is only available for a limited time.
