Rick Bayless DIY Mexican-Style Crema

  • I’m going to offer you two versions of making your own Mexican-style crema.
    The first is really luscious, nutty and most like crema de rancho; but it is more finicky to make and melts quickly when spooned on anything warm.
    The second is more sour, but also more foolproof and stable when spooned onto warm flautas and such. There is a lot of variability with dairy products. The type of cows that produce the milk, how those cows are raised, what the cows are fed and whether or not it changes from season to season, the type of pasteurizing and homogenizing, the exact cultures used in fermented products and whether those cultures remain alive in the finished product-those can all affect your end result.
    Which is to say, if your cultured cream doesn’t come out perfectly, simply use it in a sauce or dessert where heavy cream (not whipped cream) would be welcome. Both of these versions of crema can be covered and stored for several weeks in the refrigerator.

    In my head, it's always summer at Rick's house. It doesn't matter that I'm in Chicago too. It just always seems sunny.

    You are a godsend- Personally you are my Julia Child of Mexican food. I married an only child of a Mexican descendant. He only had his memories of his grandmother's cooking. He always talked about the dishes she made and wished he had the recipes. Sadly no one in the family had learned the recipes. I searched for a long time, knowing somewhere the general basics of Mexican cooking existed. It took me a long time to find you, but you are my Julia Child of Mexican cuisine. Many years ago when I saw a cooking show of yours I knew I had found the very foundation or basics of Mexican cuisine. No fancy frills, no nonsense, just the basic foundations every Grandma/Mom would employ in a kitchen. Screw 100 different spices and exotic ingredients, I was looking for the basics of a sauce, onion, garlic and chili. I have successfully recreated many of his grandma's dishes (least his surviving family and my husband have endorsed my version, they might be too kind, but the food disappears). All thanks to your instruction/recipes. All the best and Thank You for allowing an entire family to remember Grandma

    Made it yesterday and tried it this morning. I did crema #2.
    Easy to make asper the video. Even had to use UHT whipping cream and man it came out delicious.
    Didn't bother with sou ve, instata pot,etc. Hot tape water bath to heat the cream and sour cream with an instant read thermometer to 80 to 90 F, then a ball jar loosely caped on top of the refrigerator for 12 hours. Then cooled overnight in the fridge.
    Easy peasy, and delicious.

    When we lived in a small city in Mexico, Mante, I couldn't find whipping cream, or cream that could be whipped, even from the local cremeria. They sold cream, but try as I might I couldn't get it to whip up. We we're trying to make ice cream. The stores sold chantilly, but that was different somehow. We'd get whipping cream from Heb in Tampico or Victoria. I could never figure out how people find creme fraiche type cream in Mexico.

    Iv`e been making the buttermilk version for years. 1 Tbs b/m to 1 cup H cream,stir and let rest on the counter 12 hours,stir again then refrigerate. Just be sure to use fresh b/m b/c if it`s old the cultures will have died,works like a charm.Sooo good in mashed potatoes. Gonna have to try the s/c version,thank you Chef.

      Hi, I noticed that you said you've been making the creama for a while. May I ask what kind of heavy cream you use? I have been looking at so many brands of whipping cream and they all are ultra pasteurized. Thank you for your help.

      @@carmensmith9220 Yes supermarket H/C are U/P so choose an Organic one from a local dairy not the "store brand". Check the best by date,I always grab dairy from the back not the front for the freshest product. Give it a go I think you`ll be happy with the results,let me know how it turns out. Enjoy!

    Chef Baylee’s, thank you for the video. I’ve been wanting to try making my on crema for awhile. If the buttermilk version tends to separate when added to warm/ hot food, when would you use it? Would this be version to have as a side crema to dip pieces of torn bolillo bread or as a side dip?

      You can do so much with an instant pot, particularly cooking beef/pork/bone stocks. What would take five hours in the oven or on the stove can be knocked out in less than an hour, with no real loss in flavor.

    Rick, a question: In your Baja Fish Tacos recipe, the crema is a mix of mayo, sour cream and milk. Is that what the El Fenix stand really uses or was that meant to be an easy substitute for real crema?

    I've been playing with making my own sour cream, cream cheese, mascarpone etc this past year. I usually stir in a bit of salt (along with chives, garlic, etc) after culturing but before it goes into the frig. Does this kill off any further fermenting in the frig? Everything's tasted great so far, but mine aren't quite that thickness. Thanks Chef!
